Will the price of gold rise in the coming days?
According to gold analysts, the future of the US Federal Reserve’s policy weakens the appetite for gold bullion. Despite this, spot gold prices have recorded gains of over 30% in 2024 amid record-breaking buying of the metal as a safe haven amid global geopolitical tensions led by the Russian Ukrainian war and Israeli wars in the Middle East. This is in addition to the easing monetary policy of major central banks. Recently, the European Central Bank, the Bank of Canada, and the Swiss National Bank cut interest rates, and the Bank of Japan hinted at a cut instead of a hike. The People’s Bank of China is also expected to ease its monetary policy next year and return to gold buying after a six-month hiatus.
