US Inflation Rises: How Will It Impact Gold Prices?

US Inflation Rises: How Will It Impact Gold Prices?

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the US consumer price index (or CPI) rose 2.4% year-over-year (or YoY) in March 2018. The core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy components, rose 0.2% over the previous month and 2.1% YoY in March. One of the factors that has significantly contributed to this increase is the impact of a change in mobile phone service costs.
