■ Background: Upward Trend Amid U.S. PCE Release and Mixed New York Stock Market Domestic gold prices continued their upward trend despite the release of the U.S. May Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index and a mixed performance in the New York stock market. The U.S. Department of Commerce announced that the May PCE price index rose 4.1% year-over-year and 0.4% month-over-month. The PCE figure, which the Federal Reserve (Fed) uses as a key indicator for monetary policy decisions, suggests that inflationary pressures have not yet been fully resolved.

In the stock market, while semiconductor company Micron Technology reported earnings that exceeded market expectations, the New York stock market showed a mixed performance as some major tech stocks, including Apple, declined sharply.
