(Bloomberg) -- Gold slipped after a key inflation report bolstered speculation the Federal Reserve will be in no rush to cut interest rates.
A measure of underlying US inflation topped forecasts in March for a third month, signaling a bumpier path to taming price pressures. The so-called core consumer price index, which excludes food and energy costs, increased 0.4% from February, according to government data out Wednesday. From a year ago, it advanced 3.8%, holding steady from the prior month.
Treasury yields and the dollar advanced after the print, sending bullion as much as 1.1% lower to $2,327.99 an ounce.
