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 Rosenberg Forecasts Gold to Hit Unprecedented $3,000 READ MORE Gold Prices Plunge as Middle East Tensions Ease and Fed Maintains Higher Rates READ MORE Money vs. Currency: The Great Gold & Silver Rush READ MORE Jeffrey Christian: No Significant Shift Away from the US Dollar READ MORE Gold Particles Found in Emissions from Antarctica’s Tallest Volcano READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
