GOLD goes up, USD weakens

Today's world gold price listed on Kitco is at 2,067 USD/ounce, up 14 USD/ounce compared to early yesterday morning. Gold prices rose slightly thanks to the weakening of the USD and falling Treasury yields as expectations grew that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) would reduce interest rates next year. A weaker dollar makes gold priced in that currency more attractive to holders of other currencies.

However, it is forecast that there will not be any major fluctuations in the precious metals market this week. The main factor supporting gold is still the expectation that central banks will be more dovish in monetary policy and interest rates will decrease in the next few years. Underscoring ongoing geopolitical tensions, it is likely that gold will remain above $2,000/ounce in 2024.
