If today's CPI comes in at or above expectations—showing inflation is still running hot—gold could actually see downward pressure in the short term, because markets may expect the Fed to delay rate cuts, keeping real yields higher and making non-yielding assets like gold less attractive.

But if CPI surprises lower, signaling inflation is cooling, that could be bullish for gold, as it boosts hopes for earlier rate cuts and potentially weakens the dollar, both usually supportive for gold prices. Over the long run, persistent inflation tends to support gold due to its safe-haven reputation, but the immediate move depends a lot on how today's result shifts rate cut expectations and broader market sentiment.
