Federal Reserve Gov. Lael Brainard made the case on Thursday that the "new normal" of low interest rates requires the central bank to let inflation run hotter than usual as well as to employ tools like increased capital requirements to check financial market exuberance. Separately, Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari said the Fed in the current recovery treated the 2% inflation target as a ceiling instead of a target. Gold had found support earlier in the week from modest, haven-related demand as investors kept an eye on an escalating U.S.-China tariff battle and rising tensions in the Middle East. Stocks, however, had subsequently managed to claw back some lost ground as anxieties about tariffs receded for the moment.
