Gold hits an all-time high past $3,510
Tuesday, 2 September 2025 23:22 WIB | GOLD |GOLD

Gold now picks up extra pace and surpasses the $3,510 mark per troy ounce, reaching a record highs, always on the back of investors' rising perception of a couple of rate cut bets by the Federal Reserve in the next few months
Rising bets that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates this month push the Gold price higher for the sixth straight day, to levels beyond the $3,500 psychological mark or a fresh all-time peak during the Asian session on Tuesday.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent defended US President Donald Trump's decision to fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook over allegations of mortgage fraud. Moreover, Trump has criticised Fed Chair Jerome Powell for not lowering rates.

This adds to worries about the Fed's independence, which might keep a lid on any attempted US Dollar recovery from the vicinity of August monthly swing lows, retested on Monday, and further benefit the non-yielding yellow metal.

A US federal appeals court ruled on Friday that Trump's reciprocal tariffs were illegal. Trump has made it clear the next stop will be the Supreme Court, adding a layer of uncertainty in the markets and underpinning the safe-haven bullion.

An escalation of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and in the Middle East, keeps the geopolitical risks in play. This is seen as another factor lending support to the XAU/USD pair and backs the case for a further appreciating move.

Traders now look forward to important US macro releases scheduled at the beginning of a new month, starting with the ISM Manufacturing PMI on Tuesday, for more cues about the Fed's rate cut path and a fresh directional impetus.

This week's US economic docket also features JOLTS Job Openings on Wednesday, followed by the ADP report on private-sector employment and ISM Services PMI on Thursday, ahead of the Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report on Friday.
