Gold jumps to record above $2,460 an ounce on hopes Fed will soon cut rates

Gold surged to a historic high on Tuesday amid mounting expectations of an interest rate cut in September, driving heightened demand for the precious metal.

Gold futures rose by 1.7% to reach $2,471.1, surpassing the previous peak of $2,454.20 set on May 20.

During the trading session, spot gold climbed 1.8% to $2,465.95, marking an all-time high based on LSEG data dating back to 1968, without adjusting for inflation.

Earlier this year, gold prices had reached record levels but retreated amidst concerns over sustained higher interest rates, dampening investor appetite for bullion. However, renewed interest surfaced following softer inflation data in June and dovish remarks from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, which raised expectations of impending rate cuts. According to the CME FedWatch tool, markets are now pricing in a 100% probability of a rate cut in September.

The decline in the U.S. dollar has further bolstered gold demand. Despite rebounding from a five-week low on Tuesday, fluctuations in the greenback have underscored gold's allure as a safe-haven asset.

Joni Teves, a strategist at UBS, highlighted that "interest to ‘buy-the-dip’ remained prevalent among investors amid strong sentiment towards gold," attributing the market's swift rally to soft U.S. economic data and dovish Fed expectations. Teves pointed out the psychological importance of the $2400 level, suggesting potential upside risks due to restrained positioning and opportunities for investors to augment their exposure to gold.

In the first half of 2024, gold surged to unprecedented heights driven by robust demand from central banks worldwide amid escalating geopolitical tensions. UBS reported that central bank purchases of bullion are currently the highest since the late 1960s, driven by apprehensions surrounding the safety of holding USD- and EUR-denominated assets amidst financial turmoil and geopolitical instability, including the conflict in Ukraine.

Tuesday also saw a surge in gold mining stocks, with the VanEck Gold Miners ETF climbing 3%, poised for its fifth gain in six days. U.S.-listed shares of Harmony Gold and Gold Fields notably rose by 16% and 6%, respectively, reflecting investor optimism within the sector amid gold's upward trajectory.
