Version 0.57 (2024-03-08 09:24:35.524000)

updates: Gold prices surged on Friday, set for their most significant weekly increase in five months, as they hovered near historic highs. Market experts attribute the gold rally to a combination of short-term speculative activity, primarily driven by Commodity Trade Advisors (CTAs) and algorithmic trading. Expectations of imminent interest rate cuts further supported gold prices. The weakening of the U.S. dollar has made bullion more affordable for holders of other currencies. While gold prices rallied, other precious metals have also witnessed notable movements. Spot platinum experienced a decline of 0.3 percent to $916.30 per ounce, while silver fell marginally by 0.1 percent to $24.29. Palladium rose by 0.5 percent to $1,039.17 per ounce. All three metals are on track for a weekly gain.

updates: Gold prices fell slightly in Asian trade on Monday, March 4, 2024, but remained within sight of two-month highs after growing conviction over U.S. interest rate cuts this year spurred sharp gains in the yellow metal. Silver and platinum prices also fell. Markets were focused on a two-day testimony by Fed Chair Jerome Powell and key nonfarm payrolls data for February. Copper prices fell ahead of signals from China's National People's Congress. Surging growth in India could offset a demand slowdown in China. [6cd89f1e]

However, recent U.S. labor data and gains in energy and other commodity prices may weaken gold prices. Spot gold is currently trading at $2,029.13/oz.

Version 0.13 (2023-12-27 14:04:03.324000)

updates: Gold prices crept up on Wednesday, hovering near their highest in almost three weeks, on market expectations the U.S. Federal Reserve will start cutting interest rates in the first quarter of 2024. Spot gold was up 0.1% at $2,069.20 per ounce, as of 1234 GMT, and was on track to mark an over 13% gain this year - its best since 2020. U.S. gold futures rose 0.6% to $2,081.10 per ounce. Lower interest rates decrease the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding bullion. A weaker dollar makes gold more attractive for other currency holders. Spot silver fell 0.4% to $24.09 per ounce, and was poised for a marginal gain over the year. Platinum lost 0.4% to $974.39. Palladium rose 1.2% to $1,188.28. Both were on track to log yearly declines, with palladium sliding around 34% so far for the year - its worst since 2008.

Spot gold rose 0.5% to $2,036.69 per ounce, while US gold futures jumped 2.7% to $2,051.20. The Fed's dovish pivot was expected and allows markets to price in a more aggressive Fed cutting cycle. The dollar slipped to a four-month low and the US benchmark 10-year yield dropped to its lowest level since late July. Palladium also climbed 11.3% to $1,104.76 after hitting a five-year low earlier this month.
