Consumer price inflation showed strong figures in 2025, with a slight cooling in February. The U.S. Federal Reserve Chair's recent comments about the economy's resilience, despite an uncertain outlook, provided a sense of relief to the market. The moderation seen in the core index suggests a potential reversal in the previously spiked categories from January. Notably, the headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased by 0.25%, while the core index saw a 0.27% rise.
The market finds itself navigating complex dynamics as concerns around former President Trump's trade policies and speculations about Federal Reserve rate cuts continue to influence commodity prices. During the Asian session on Monday, gold extended its sideways consolidative price movement, buoyed by the USD's proximity to a multi-month low. This situation served as a favorable condition for the XAU/USD pair. Meanwhile, the EUR/USD pair experienced a loss of momentum, settling around 1.0835 during the early European session on Monday.
