World gold price on the morning of March 8 set a new record
The world gold price jumped to $2,160/ounce, breaking the record price set in December 2023 and even reached $2,164.09/ounce, marking an all-time high. Speaking on CNBC, Joseph Cavatoni, market strategist of the World Gold Council (WGC), said that expectations of lower interest rates are driving gold prices and everyone is expecting that to come. In addition, Mr. Cavatoni added that gold buying by central banks also continues to be very strong.
According to the CME Fedwatch tool, investors now see a 72% chance that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates in June, up from 63% at the end of February. Lower interest rates reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding metals and put pressure on the dollar, making gold less expensive for foreign buyers. Especially after Fed Chairman Jerome Powell also indicated that a rate cut could come this year.
Investors are currently waiting for the US employment report to be released today (March 8) to continue to have more information for the forecast of the Fed's interest rate cut timing...
