Gold price traded higher as the U.S. dollar declined after the weaker-than-expected U.S. economic data
Gold price traded higher as the U.S. dollar declined after the weaker-than-expected U.S. economic data. The U.S. industrial production dropped 0.3% in April, missing expectations for a 0.1% increase, after a 0.3% decline in March.
March's figure was revised up from a 0.6% decrease.
The decline was driven by lower mining and utilities output. Mining output dropped by 0.8% in April as oil and gas drilling plunged 14.5%, while utility output fell by 1.3%.
The U.S. manufacturing production remained unchanged in April.
Capacity utilisation rate fell to 78.2% in April from 78.6% in March. March's figure was revised up 78.4%. Analysts had expected a capacity utilisation rate of 78.4%.
The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan preliminary consumer sentiment index dropped to 88.6 in May from a final reading of 95.9 in April, missing expectations for an increase to 96.0. It was the lowest level since October 2014.
