The current gold price chart reflects a bullish market, with prices hitting new highs, a testament to the growing appeal of gold as a safe-haven asset in times of uncertainty. The recent price increase is the result of a combination of the US Federal Reserve’s (Fed) monetary policies and rising geopolitical uncertainties.
In particular, the Fed’s decision to cut interest rates has reduced the opportunity cost of holding gold, thereby stimulating investment demand for gold. In addition, expectations of further interest rate cuts in the future have also boosted gold prices, with the market predicting a 62% chance of the Fed cutting another 50 bps in November.
In addition, geopolitical uncertainties, such as the conflict between Israel and Gaza, have also contributed to increased demand for gold. In times like these, gold is often seen as a safe-haven investment, protecting the value of assets when inflation and political uncertainty increase.
In the chart, the 34 EMA and 89 EMA are both bullish, with both moving averages below the current price, further reinforcing the bullish bias.
