Prices paid to U.S. producers excluding food and energy unexpectedly fell in July, the first piece of evidence backing the Federal Reserve's forecast that inflation will slow.
The so-called core rate dropped 0.3 percent, the first decrease since October, the Labor Department said today in Washington.
Bonds and stocks jumped and the dollar sagged as traders seized on the report to speculate that the Fed may keep interest rates stable at its September meeting after ending a two-year tightening campaign last week.
Investors' attention will now focus on tomorrow's consumer-price report; another less-than- expected reading would be a further sign Chairman Ben S. Bernanke was right in advocating a pause.

上列信息在在說明金价应有回升的机会。但今晚似乎看不到這个情况。真不知基金在弄什么玄虛呢。也許等明晚的数据吧(consumer-price report)。
