Despite the upbeat U.S. inflation data Thursday, Kitco’s Peter Hug points out that gold prices remain resilient. The U.S. Consumer Price Index rose 0.4% in August, higher than expected, which investors saw as more ammo for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates this year.
Gold prices fell to daily lows on the news but later moved higher, which to Hug is a positive sign. ‘I think traders bought the dip. You need to buy these dips,’ he said. ‘I’m still firm in my belief the Fed is not going to move in September.’
