6 September 2024
Gold is trading near $2,500, attempting to overcome its historical tendency to decline in September, a pattern that’s happened in 9 out of the last 10 years. Despite a recent dip to $2,470, gold has rebounded, buoyed by global economic slowdown concerns. This economic climate has increased risks for growth-dependent assets while simultaneously raising expectations for more aggressive interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve, whose next meeting is scheduled for September 18. These factors are contributing to gold’s resilience against its typical September weakness.
