On Tuesday, the price of gold was declining as the US dollar rose in anticipation of inflation statistics. Investors predict that the Federal Reserve will signal an aggressive tightening of monetary policy and multiple interest rate hikes this year. The spot price of precious metals in the morning declined to $1816 per ounce, recovering during the day to $1820. Inflation data in the United States will be published on Thursday. The consumer price index for January is expected to show an annual growth of 7.3%, which would be the highest jump since 1982. And as experts note, high inflation may force the Fed to tighten policy faster, which will lead to an increase in the opportunity costs of owning non-profitable gold. Additional support for gold is provided by the ongoing tensions around Russia and Ukraine, as the precious metal is used as a safe haven asset. As for the other metals, palladium fell today to $2200, silver declined to $22,777, and platinum fell to $1004.25 per troy ounce.
