A weaker dollar and predictions of slower U.S. Federal Reserve interest rate increases have kept gold prices rising since November. Data released on Thursday revealed that US consumer prices dropped in December for the first time in more than two years. It raises hope that inflation may moderate in upcoming days.

Before slowing to a 50 bps hike in December, the Fed had increased rates by 75 basis points (bps) four times during the previous year.
