Gold appreciated for the third consecutive day on Tuesday as the US dollar tanked amid hopes of a dovish turn by the Fed on Wednesday. The US Dollar Index has dropped to fresh two-month lows, which buoys the precious metal to fresh record highs right below $3,700.
Recent US data has highlighted a sharp deterioration of the labour market while inflation remains moderate. Speculation that the n¡bank might be behind the curve with rate cuts has boosted hopes that the bank will announce a widely expected quarter-point cut on Wednesday and hint at further easing down the road.
