Gold prices experienced a significant surge on Tuesday, climbing nearly $30 to surpass the $3380 mark, following an interview with US President Donald Trump. The interview included mentions of several potential candidates for the Federal Reserve chairmanship, excluding the Treasury Secretary from the list, and the threat of new tariffs on goods from China and other countries.
Trump's remarks fueled uncertainty in the markets, prompting investors to seek safe havens such as gold. In addition, weak economic data strengthened expectations of interest rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve, which increases the attractiveness of gold as it does not offer a fixed return.
Traders overwhelmingly expect the Fed to cut interest rates at its upcoming meeting and to cut them at least twice this year. These expectations support gold prices, as lower interest rates reduce the opportunity cost of holding gold.
Gold has long been considered a safe haven in times of political and economic turmoil. With escalating trade and geopolitical tensions, coupled with uncertainty about monetary policy, demand for gold as a store of value increases.
Despite recent gains, some analysts believe that strong catalysts are needed to push gold prices much higher. However, gold remains supported by expectations of interest rate cuts and continued uncertainty in the global economy.
