According to statistics released on Tuesday, there was a slight increase in the producer prices’ rise rate in October,
compared to the previous month – to 0.6% from 0.5% in September.

Tesla’s losses continue

last Friday offered an option to buy 25,000 Tesla stocks at $74.17 per stock ,
and were immediately sold on several slices at $1223 to $1236 per stock, earning about $108.8 million.

at the end of last week, Elon Musk promised to sell 10% of his shares in the company, if Twitter users voted for such a move,
and according to the results of a poll conducted on this social network, he would sell securities worth about $21 billion.

Gold declines as the US dollar stabilizes

old prices declined on Wednesday as the dollar stabilized, with investors expecting major inflation data in the United States
that could have an impact on the Fed’s next policy move.

Spot gold fell 0.4 percent to $1824.90 an ounce after hitting its highest level since September 3 at the previous session.

US gold futures declined 0.1 percent to $1828.40.

Its weight on alloys increased by increasing its cost to buyers with other currencies, and the US dollar rose by 0.1%.

The focus now turns to the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) report to be released later in the day,
given the possibility of a higher reading due to a tight labor market and turmoil in global supply chains.

In a Reuters poll, economists expect a 5.8% increase in the consumer price index in the 12 months to October.

The report follows the Fed policymakers’ indication that interest rate hikes were not yet on the table earlier this week,
although two of the central bank’s most pessimistic officials said on Tuesday, they expected more clarity on the economic outlook by next summer.

Gold tends to benefit from low low-interest because it reduces the opportunity cost of the metal that does not yield a return.

On the other hand, the price of spot silver stabilized at $24.28 per ounce, platinum fell by 0.7% to $1052.00, while palladium rose 0.5% to $2031.89.
