Gold inches up after weak data fuels US rate cut bets




Gold prices drifted higher on Thursday after softer-than-expected U.S. economic data fuelled hopes that the Federal Reserve could cut interest rates as soon as September.

Spot gold was up 0.3% at $2,362.10 per ounce, as of 0200 GMT after hitting a near two-week high in the previous session. U.S. gold futures was little changed at $2,369.80.
