But the safe-haven asset soon erased losses as investors assessed the economic repercussions, with bullion getting a further fillip after the University of Michigan’s survey showed U.S. consumer sentiment plunged to a record low in early June amid soaring gasoline prices.

Wall Street suffers biggest weekly loss since January after hot CPI data

U.S. stocks posted their biggest weekly percentage declines since January and ended sharply lower on the day Friday as a steeper-than-expected rise in U.S. consumer prices in May fueled fears of more aggressive interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. Tech and growth stocks, whose valuations rely more heavily on future cash flows, led the decline. Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O), Amazon.com Inc (AMZN.O) and Apple Inc (AAPL.O) drove losses in the S&P 500.

Sterling tumbles more than 1% vs dollar after U.S. inflation data

terling fell by more than 1% on Friday and was set for a second consecutive week of declines against the U.S. dollar as Britain's gloomy economic outlook left investors on edge while strong U.S. inflation data boosted the greenback. The pound fell below $1.24 after data showed that U.S. consumer prices accelerated in May, suggesting that the Federal Reserve could continue with its 50 basis point interest rate hikes through September to combat inflation. The Bank of England is expected to raise interest rates next week for the fifth time since December, its steepest run of rate hikes in 25 years.
