One kilogram gold bullion at the YLG Bullion International Co. headquarters in Bangkok, Thailand, on Friday, Dec. 22, 2023.
Gold prices were set for a fourth straight monthly gain, even as the market struggled for momentum on Friday ahead of a key U.S. inflation reading that could provide more indications on how the Federal Reserve might proceed with rate cuts later this year.
Bullion prices are up 0.3% so far this week and 2.5% so far in the month.
Spot silver fell 0.8% to $30.95 per ounce, but was set for its biggest monthly gain since July 2020.
Platinum was down 0.2% at $1,021.94 and palladium lost 0.2% to $945.56.
