What happened

Gold trimmed losses on Thursday following the release of U.S.

Why it matters

April inflation data, but prices were still down for a third straight session as skepticism over a U.S.–Iran deal clouded the interest rate outlook.

Common ground

Spot gold was down 0.6% at $4,428.69 an ounce, after falling to its lowest level since late March earlier in the session.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
