Gold Eyes Second Weekly Gain Amid U.S. Rate-Cut Hopes Gold prices are set for a second consecutive weekly gain, driven by optimism over potential U.S. interest-rate cuts following recent weak economic data. Spot gold rose 0.3% to $2,366.83 per ounce, reaching a two-week high, and has gained over 1% this week. U.S. gold futures increased by 0.5% to $2,380.80. Softer economic indicators, including a slowdown in housing and tepid retail sales, have bolstered hopes for a rate cut, reducing the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding bullion. Meanwhile, China’s yuan hit a seven-month low, further boosting gold demand. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts Gold Clings to Stability Amid High Interest Rate Fears READ MORE Powell Dismisses Stagflation Fears READ MORE Warning Signs: Recent Bank Failures and the Fragile Global Financial System READ MORE Silver's Structural Deficit: What It Means for Your Portfolio | Alan Hibbard READ MORE Global Concerns Rise Over U.S. Economy's Impact on World Currencies READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
