Gold updated the record in anticipation of fresh signals from the Fed


September, 23 2024
watermark Economic news

Gold prices have reached a new historical high in Asian markets due to the optimistic sentiment caused by lower interest rates in the United States. Additional support for the market was provided by the expectations of speeches by representatives of the Federal Reserve System, which may shed light on the further steps of the regulator.


After the Fed lowered the rate by 50 basis points, gold has updated its records and continues to hold its positions confidently. The spot price of gold rose 0.3% to reach $2,631.19 per ounce, while futures rose 0.4% to $2,655.80 per ounce. The weakening of the dollar and the decline in Treasury bond yields also contributed to the strengthening of the metals market.


Experts expect further easing of the Fed's monetary policy, which may lead to a reduction in rates by an additional 125 basis points during the year. A number of key Fed officials, including Chairman Jerome Powell, are scheduled to speak in the coming days, which may provide additional signals for the markets.


Another important event will be the publication on Friday of a report on the PCE index, the main indicator of inflation for the Fed, which may affect further decisions by the regulator on rates. In addition, investors' attention is focused on the meetings of the central banks of Switzerland and Sweden, where interest rates are also expected to decrease.


Other precious metals, however, are showing a decline. Platinum futures fell 0.6% to $974.10 per ounce, while silver contracts fell 0.2% to $31.43 per ounce.
