Gold is trading around $4,150 and nearing $4,200 as a slide in Treasury yields and a struggling US dollar offset a 6.3% US PPI print. Price action remains mixed heading into the Fed blackout, with fading October Fed hike bets competing with lingering rate-hike risks and focus on Fed Warsh's speech.
