Gold prices hit a new record high on Tuesday (September 16th), breaking through $3,685 per ounce. This increase occurred as investors grew more confident that the Federal Reserve (The Fed) would cut interest rates this week, opening the door to further monetary easing in the coming months. Furthermore, the weakening of the US dollar to its lowest level in more than seven weeks also boosted gold prices. The market is now awaiting the release of the Fed's latest economic and interest rate projections via the "dot plot" and Chairman Jerome Powell's press conference following the announcement of the decision.
Expectations for an interest rate cut are growing stronger, supported by weak US employment data and the absence of major inflation surprises. This is positive for non-interest-bearing gold, as it makes the precious metal more attractive compared to interest-bearing assets.
The price of gold at the time of writing was $3,681/Toz.
