The price of gold on the Kitco floor at 8:30 p.m. (September 5, Vietnam time) was trading at $2,518.9/ounce, up 0.92% from the beginning of the session. The price of gold futures for delivery in December 2024 on the Comex New York floor was trading at $2,546.8/ounce.

At the beginning of the trading session in the US market, the world gold price increased quite strongly. Investors bet on the expectation that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) will cut interest rates this month, after the newly released economic data was pessimistic.

However, recent economic data suggests the Fed may not be able to cut interest rates by 50 basis points.

Peter A. Grant, vice president and senior metals strategist at Zaner Metals, said gold prices are under pressure as expectations for a 50 basis point Fed rate cut are fading. It is more likely that the US central bank will decide to cut rates by a lower level of 25 basis points.
