As of 9:00 AM ET today, gold is trading at $4,849.30 per ounce, $155.91 per gram, and $155,910.37 per kilo. This represents a 0.34% increase from yesterday’s $4,832.90 mark. Prices are climbing as investors digest yesterday’s disappointing U.S. Industrial Production report, which missed expectations by 0.5%. This stagflationary signal, combined with the U.S. Dollar heading for its second weekly loss, has revitalized gold’s appeal as a primary hedge against currency devaluation and economic slowing.
