Gold prices reached session highs following a stronger-than-expected rise in the U.S. Consumer Confidence Index to 91.7 in October, surpassing forecasts of 81. The increase reflects better perceptions of current and future business conditions, partly due to easing gasoline prices. Despite the improvement, consumer confidence remains on a long-term decline, with concerns over inflation and rising costs still affecting spending plans. Younger and higher-income consumers showed more confidence, while inflation expectations and concerns about jobs persist.
