Gold prices rose after a surprise rise in US weekly jobless claims and a easing in US consumer price index (CPI). Meanwhile, silver prices rose steadily.

US weekly jobless claims rose by 27,000 from the previous week, up 263,000 from the previous week, above the forecast of 235,000. The report is seen as a factor supporting the “doves” in monetary policy, who want the US Federal Reserve (FED) to cut interest rates more aggressively.

Meanwhile, US annual inflation, as measured by CPI, rose to 2.9% in August, the highest level since January and higher than July’s 2.7%. Prices rose mainly in the food group, used cars and new cars.

CPI rose 0.4% month-on-month, up from 0.2% in July and above forecasts for 0.3%. The expansion after producer prices rose more than expected in July was somewhat muted. Core CPI, which excludes food and energy, remained unchanged at 3.1%, matching the rebound in February and July. Core CPI rose 0.3% month-on-month.
