Analysis: Expectations of US interest rate cuts and the appeal of safe-haven assets have driven Spot gold to a record high.
Golden Finance reports that spot gold soared to a historic high of $4,384.82 per ounce on Monday, driven by market expectations for further interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, ongoing safe-haven demand, and a weakening dollar. Fueled by geopolitical and trade tensions, a surge in central bank purchases, and hopes for rate cuts next year, gold, a traditional safe-haven asset, has risen by 67% this year. Investors are currently pricing in two interest rate cuts in the U.S. in 2026, enhancing the appeal of gold.
