As per data from Reuters reports, “Spot gold climbed to a record peak of $4,917.65 per ounce, as of 01:51 p.m. ET (18:51 GMT). U.S. gold futures for February delivery settled 1.6% higher to $4,913.4 per ounce.”
“Spot Gold is likely to trade with positive bias and rise towards $5000 level on weak dollar and softening of US treasury yields. Further, prices may move up on expectation of 2 more rate cuts this year. Additionally, demand for precious metal may be seen amid fiscal concerns and uncertainty still linger as European lawmakers halted approval of the EU-US trade agreement reached in July. Moreover, concern over Fed independence and strong central bank buying would be supportive for the prices.” As per ICICI Commodity report.
