Gold Futures End Higher On Softer US Dollar After Tamer Inflation Data

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 16 (Bernama) -- Gold futures on Bursa Malaysia Derivatives rose on Monday due to a weaker greenback after the United States consumer price index increased less than expected in January 2026.

At the close, the spot-month February 2026 contract strengthened to US$5,021.90 per troy ounce from US$4,977.30 per troy ounce last Friday. March rose to US$5,038.90 per troy ounce from US$4,994.30 per troy ounce, while April and May advanced to US$5,056.50 per troy ounce from US$5,011.90 per troy ounce.

June and August contracts also improved, settling at US$5,090.40 per troy ounce, up from US$5,045.80 per troy ounce.

Trading volume increased to 10 lots from six lots last Friday, and open interest edged up to 98 contracts from 91 contracts previously.

Physical gold was fixed at US$4,994.95 per troy ounce at the London Bullion Market Association afternoon fix on Feb 13, 2026. 

Bursa Malaysia Bhd and its subsidiaries will be closed on Feb 17, 2026 (Tuesday) and Feb 18, 2026 (Wednesday) in conjunction with the Chinese New Year public holiday, and will resume operations on Feb 19, 2026 (Thursday).
