Globally, spot gold was trading at $2,466.35 per ounce, reaching a record high as investors flocked to the safe-haven metal after comments from the US Federal Reserve officials cemented expectations of a US interest rate cut in September.
Analysts are expecting the next target for the yellow metal to reach $2,600 per ounce.
“It’s been a momentous day for the gold market and client flows have been huge – where we’ve seen momentum-focused traders adding to long positions on the break of the prior all-time high (ATH) of $2,450, while others see the move as having gone too far too soon and are selling into the rally,” said Chris Weston, head of research at Pepperstone.
“Technically, gold has held a range of $2,450 to $2,285 since mid-April, but on the day, we see price breaking out topside emphatically, and where a measured move of the range suggests a target closer to $2,600,” he said.
He said the market has unwavering confidence that the Fed is about to embark on an easing cycle from September.
