On July 17, 2024, investors are betting on a 100% chance of a Federal Reserve rate cut in September, leading to a drop in U.S. Treasury yields and a rise in gold prices, which hit a historic high of $2,478.5 per ounce. The expectation of continued price increases in gold, possibly challenging the $2,500 mark, is fueled by recent U.S. inflation data cooling and dovish statements from Fed Chairman Powell. The market is reacting to indications of an impending rate cut, with analysts expecting that gold prices will maintain support amidst economic uncertainty and potential market volatility related to Trump's chances in the upcoming presidential election.
