Gold is set to achieve its most significant monthly increase since November 2022, driven by expectations of U.S. interest rate cuts, robust demand for safe-haven assets, and substantial purchases by central banks. With a 0.8% rise to $2,212.47 per ounce and heading for an over 8% monthly and a consecutive quarterly increase, gold reached a record high last week, bolstered by the Federal Reserve’s forecast of three rate cuts in 2024. The precious metal remains close to its peak, as investors await further U.S. economic data that could sway the Fed’s future monetary decisions.
