Spot gold was said to be up 1% at $2,208.30 an ounce after hitting a record high of $2,222.39 in the session.

The Fed yesterday kept interest rates unchanged, saying it still expects to cut them by 0.75% by the end of 2024.

Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said the recent high inflation figure did not change the underlying assumption that price pressures in the United States are slowly easing.

Federal funds futures traders are now rating a 75% chance the Fed will cut rates in June, up from 59% previously.

“With Powell targeting three possible rate cuts this year, bond yields and the US dollar have fallen, paving the way for gold prices to rise,” said Tim Waterer, chief market analyst. at KCM Trade.

Meanwhile, the dollar fell to a one-week low against its peers, while the yield on the 10-year US Treasury note also fell.

Let’s remember that at the beginning of December 2023, the price of gold exceeded $2,100 per ounce for the first time in history. At the time, analysts predicted that the price of the precious metal could remain above $2,000 per ounce in 2024. In early March, the price of gold reached a new all-time high.

Earlier it was known that the Russians were massively exporting gold from the country. So, more than 200 kg of gold was seized from one man. At the same time, he had difficulty confirming the origin of the bullion, the funds from which he obtained them, as well as the purpose of gold export.
