Gold prices surged on Tuesday, reaching $2,038.45, driven by a weakening US Dollar and dovish comments from Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller. Waller indicated that a continued decline in inflation could lead to a reduction in the policy rate. Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee also acknowledged significant progress in lowering inflation. Despite this, Fed Governor Michelle Bowman maintained a possibility of further rate hikes. These developments, reflecting a shift from the Fed’s typically hawkish stance, led to a decrease in Treasury yields, with the 10-year and 2-year notes yielding 4.36% and 4.80%, respectively.
