Gold Prices Shatter Records: Inflation Data Fuels Rate Cut Speculations Gold prices soared to a new record high, as expectations for U.S. interest rate cuts gained momentum following the release of encouraging inflation data. On Monday, gold futures climbed by more than $40, reaching $2,278.30 an ounce, marking a historic peak. This surge is part of a broader trend, with gold finishing March with an 8.9% increase and closing the quarter up by 8%. The rally in gold prices is largely attributed to recent U.S. inflation figures coming in below expectations, suggesting the Federal Reserve might consider reducing interest rates as early as June. The anticipation grew after data showed the Fed’s preferred inflation measure, the core deflator, slowed to 0.3% in February from 0.5% the previous month. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts U.S. Economy's Fate Tied to Federal Reserve's Decisions READ MORE German and Italian Gold Imports Linked to Amazon's Illicit Mining Boom READ MORE Weak U.S. Jobs Report Boosts Gold Prices As Many Speculate About Fed Rate Cuts READ MORE ING: What’s Next for Gold?
