Gold Nears Two-Month High Amid Anticipation of US Rate Cut Gold prices remained close to a two-month high, influenced by last week’s weak U.S. economic data, which has increased expectations for the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates in June. As of midday GMT, spot gold was stable at $2,082.89 per ounce, while U.S. gold futures saw a slight decline of 0.2% to $2,091.50. The anticipation of an interest rate cut has buoyed gold prices, with spot gold nearly reaching the $2,088.19 mark seen last Friday, the highest since late December. Earlier in December, gold had reached an all-time high of $2,135.40, underscoring its role as a safe-haven asset amid economic uncertainty. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts U.S. Treasury to Boost Long-Term Debt Sales READ MORE Economic Confidence at Odds: Strong Indicators vs. American Pessimism READ MORE Different Purities of Sovereign Gold Coins READ MORE NYCB in Crisis: CEO Steps Down as Losses Mount to $2.7 Billion READ MORE Gold Set for a Great 2024, with Silver to Shine Even Brighter: UBS Insights READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
