Investors Eye Fed's Next Moves as Gold Prices Soar to New Heights Gold prices reached a new record high above $2,350 an ounce but later pared gains, with investors’ attention turning towards the upcoming U.S. inflation data set to be released on Wednesday. The anticipation revolves around the Federal Reserve’s stance on interest rates, as higher rates generally have a negative impact on gold, which doesn’t yield interest. Despite the lack of a clear catalyst for gold’s rally since mid-February, the precious metal has surged over 18%, partly driven by expectations that the Fed might soon reduce borrowing costs and by consistent demand from central banks, notably the People’s Bank of China, which added gold to its reserves for the 17th consecutive month in March. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts Gold Retreats Off Record Highs After Higher than Expected Inflation Data READ MORE U.S. Labor Market Holds Strong; First Quarter Productivity Sees Minor Dip READ MORE Fed Is ‘Not Far’ From Confidence Needed to Cut Rates, Powell Says READ MORE Bill Gross Urges Federal Reserve to Halt Tightening and Slash Rates to Avert Recession READ MORE Credit Card Debt Climbs: 56 Million Americans in Prolonged Debt Amid Economic Pressures READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
