Gold Approaches End of Four-Month Drop
Gold is heading towards its first monthly gain in five months, supported by a weakening dollar and forex market fluctuations, amid investor hesitation regarding an increase in U.S. interest rates. The precious metal has so far risen by more than 2.2% this month, despite a 0.2% decline yesterday to around $4,096 per ounce, and is on track to achieve a weekly increase of 1.1%. Market expectations suggest a 63% chance that interest rates will be raised in September, following the Federal Reserve’s decision to keep rates unchanged in its most recent meeting, with investors awaiting signals about inflation and the future path of interest rates. Additionally, prices of other precious metals remained stable, with platinum and palladium declining, while silver held steady.
