Gold Futures Hit New Record on Rate-Cut Speculation and Central Bank Demand

Rising expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve will ease monetary policy have driven gold prices to new highs.
Prospects of rate cuts and expanded quantitative easing have boosted safe-haven demand for gold, while a weaker U.S. dollar has increased its appeal to both domestic and international investors. The CME FedWatch tool shows a 24.5% chance of a 50 basis-point rate cut in September and a 75.5% probability of a 25 basis-point cut, making gold more attractive as a non-interest-bearing asset.
