On Wednesday, lower than expected data eased concerns about accelerating inflation and increased the likelihood of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates twice this year. The US dollar index slightly weakened, briefly falling below the 109 level during trading, but then sharply rose and regained most of the losses of the day, ultimately closing down 0.07% at 109.10. The yield on US Treasury bonds has dropped significantly, with the benchmark 10-year yield closing at 4.657%; The two-year US Treasury yield, which is more sensitive to monetary policy, closed at 4.266%. Gold prices continued to rise on Wednesday, closing at $2696.61 per ounce.

US bond yields fell sharply from a nearly 14 month high, and the US dollar fell, providing upward momentum for gold prices.

WTI crude oil surged above $79 and ultimately closed up 2.84% at $79.11 per barrel; Brent crude oil closed up 2.36% at $81.59 per barrel.
