In August, the Caixin manufacturing PMI leapt to 51.6, surpassing a 50.9 reading expected, as data disclosed on Friday, displaying the fastest tempo of new orders for three years.

Gold resumed its ascend reacting to a two-day consolidation because data revealed that consumer spending suddenly fell short of expectations. At the same time inflation grew at its slowest tempo in almost two years, thus curbing investor expectation that the Fed will raise its benchmark rate later in 2017.
