US gold prices held steady on Wednesday, with investors looking towards key US inflation data that could shed more light on the Federal Reserve’s interest rates trajectory.

Spot gold was little changed at $2,365.09 per ounce, as of 0040 GMT. US gold futures rose 0.2 per cent to $2,372.60.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said in remarks to Congress that inflation had been improving in recent months and that “more good data would strengthen” the case for looser monetary policy.

However, he told lawmakers that he did not want “to be sending any signals about the timing of any future actions” on rates.

Traders currently see a 73 per cent chance of a rate cut in September, according to the CME Group’s FedWatch Tool.

Non-yielding bullion’s appeal tends to shine when interest rates are lower.

Spot silver fell 0.1 per cent to $30.77, platinum ticked up 0.3 per cent to $986.80 and palladium was flat at $980.49.
