Oct 11 (Reuters) - Gold rose over 1% on Fridayafter a U.S. inflation data cemented prospects of rate cuts this year, restraining the dollar below recent highs, while safe-haven demand stemming from the geopolitical tensions in the Middle East also lifted the bullion.
Spot gold XAU= rose 1.1% to $2,657.62 per ounce by 11:48 a.m. ET (1548 GMT), up for the second straight session, and U.S. gold futures GCcv1 gained 1.4% to $2,675.10.
"The economy is still relatively strong, and the Fed is still in a paradox where they're looking at cutting rates because some sectors have slowed down significantly, like housing," said Daniel Pavilonis, senior market strategist at RJO Futures.
U.S. producer prices were unchanged in September, pointing to a still-favorable inflation outlook and supporting expectations of Fed rate cut next month.
"The PPI numbers leaned friendly for the precious metals market bulls and suggest the Fed remains on track for two quarter-point interest rate cuts this year," Jim Wyckoff, senior market analyst at Kitco Metals, said.
This follows data on Thursday showing U.S. consumer prices rose slightly more than expected last month, but the annual increase in inflation was the smallest in more than 3-1/2 years.
"Gold is expected to reach $3,000 by 2025 due to geopolitical tensions, inflation concerns, and election uncertainties," Pavilonis added.
