2. The People's Bank of China resumed its gold purchases after a six-month pause, which helped gold prices hit a two-week high on Monday.

4. Market participants are now eyeing the U.S. inflation data for November, which is expected to provide critical insights into the Federal Reserve's future interest rate decisions.
