The Fed and gold: tango on the verge of a record


August, 15 2024
watermark Economic news

Gold prices rose in Asian trading on Thursday, coming close to record highs. Weaker-than-expected data on consumer inflation in the United States boosted hopes for a Fed rate cut, which had a positive impact on demand for a «safe haven.» 


Spot gold rose 0.2% to $2,459.51 per ounce, while gold futures rose 0.4% to $2,497.40 per ounce. 


This week, the precious metal approached an all-time high of $2,480, supported by both inflation concerns and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. 


However, data on the US consumer price index on Wednesday initially caused a drop in gold prices, as rising inflation forced traders to expect a smaller Fed rate cut in September (by 25 basis points instead of 50). 


Nevertheless, the prospect of a lower interest rate is still favorable for gold, as it reduces the opportunity costs of investing. 


Gold's growth is also supported by a decline in the dollar and Treasury bond yields.
