Gold approached $2700 per ounce in Asia on Wednesday, extending its rally as investors focused on upcoming US retail sales data and a speech from Fed Governor Waller for insights into the Federal Reserve�s next moves. Rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have bolstered demand for the safe-haven asset. On Tuesday, gold gained as the US dollar and Treasury yields eased following disappointing manufacturing data.
