Gold futures news in the latest gold futures news

In the latest gold futures news, COMEX prices posted a 0.8% uptick, driven by weaker-than-expected U.S. retail sales — a sign that traders may anticipate Fed easing, which historically boosts precious metals. Gold futures closed at a record $3,897.50 per ounce while spot gold was last trading at $3,866.66. Prices are up nearly 50% since the start of the year.
