【Institution: Strong Dollar Leads to Further Decline in Gold Futures】 Golden Finance reports that due to stronger-than-expected U.S. inflation data, traders have lowered their expectations for interest rate cuts for the remainder of the year, and gold prices continue to decline. In evening trading, gold futures fell by 0.6%, while the dollar index rose by 0.4%, to $98.22 per ounce. Forex.com market analyst Fawad Razaqzada stated, "Today's PPI data shows that July's PPI unexpectedly rose to 3.3% year-on-year, far exceeding the expected 2.5%. This has raised concerns that the impact of tariffs on inflation is finally beginning to show." Investors' attention will now turn to retail sales and consumer confidence data. However, gold is also supported by safe-haven demand amidst ongoing uncertainty surrounding U.S. trade negotiations and President Trump's meeting with Russian President Putin on Friday.
