Why is the Gold price moving today?
The gold price is trending sideways in trade today on the back of some profit booking in these counters. The prices of the yellow metal also retreated a bit from their record highs on the back of a firm dollar. A strong dollar makes precious metals like gold more expensive as an asset for those keen to invest.
Bets of additional rate cuts by US Fed in 2026 continued to add pressure to the gold price over the near-term. A Fed Official said that the rise in US unemployment may lead the US Central Bank to undertake further steps to ease the Monetary Policy and overall rate stance.
Meanwhile, gold is maintaining its current levels on the back of geopolitical concerns. The US action on Venezuela coupled with heightened political tension between the US and Greenland, China and Japan is helping bolster the safe haven demand for gold.
