Traders and market participants are waiting for any indications of inflation from the Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) data scheduled for Friday. The PCE data is seen as a crucial indicator; if inflation continues to fall, the dollar will weaken further and gold will take on a more stable tone as a result.

Traditionally, bullion has been considered an inflation hedge, but the metal tends to lose its luster because it pays no interest.
