FED RATE CUTS SET TO PUSH GOLD TO NEW HIGHS - ING
Analysts at ING have upped their forecast for gold, believing Fed rate cuts will bring fresh impetus to prices that traded at record highs as recently as last month.
A cocktail of tailwinds has sent gold XAU= higher this year, surging by more than 20% to its highest of all time at $2,531 an ounce. It was last at $2,497.
The myriad of reasons include expectations for Fed rate cuts, strong central bank buying, robust Asian purchases, safe-haven demand due to heightened geopolitical risk and uncertainty before the U.S. election, ING said.
The question now is how fast the Fed cuts rates and how that will impact prices.
"We believe that the long-awaited Fed rate cut will drive gold to new highs," ING commodities strategist Ewa Manthey says in a note.
"The U.S. presidential election in November will also continue to add to gold's upward momentum through to the end of the year, in our view."
ING now sees gold averaging $2,580 an ounce in the fourth quarter and $2,700 in 2025.
