The Commodities Feed: Gold Nears $2,200/oz In light of shifting monetary policy expectations, gold prices have soared, nearly touching the $2,200 per ounce mark. This recent surge, culminating in almost a 5% increase last week alone, has been propelled by a series of record highs over four consecutive sessions. The unexpected rise in the U.S. jobless rate has fueled speculation that the Federal Reserve may lean towards a more accommodative monetary policy, which in turn has weakened the dollar and reduced 10-year Treasury yields, further elevating gold’s allure. This rally has also resulted in the highest level of net speculative bullish bets on gold in two months, indicating a strong investor confidence in the metal as a valuable hedge in times of economic unpredictability. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts China Tightens Grip on Rare Earth Metals, Declaring State Ownership READ MORE Gold Slides Below $2,000 As U.S. Inflation Exceeds Expectations READ MORE BullionStar Perspectives – Rick Rule – Wisdom and Insights from Legendary Mining Investor READ MORE STAGFLATION & The Longest Yield Curve Inversion in History READ MORE Global Business Grinds to Halt as CrowdStrike Update Triggers Massive IT Meltdown READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
