Gold prices climbed near session highs after data showed US housing starts dropped 2.6% in July to 1.275 million units, missing expectations of 1.310 million. Building permits also declined 2.7% to 1.394 million in August, signaling continued weakness in the housing market. This sector's slowdown weighs on the US economy due to high prices and mortgage rates driven by the Federal Reserve's rate hikes. The weaker housing data boosted gold as investors seek safe-haven assets amid economic uncertainty.
