Sept 16 (Reuters) -Gold prices charged to a record high on Monday as a weaker dollar and the prospects of aggressive U.S. monetary policy easing boosted non-yielding bullion's appeal.

The first U.S. rate cut is getting closer and will be followed by more, supporting gold, said UBS analyst Giovanni Staunovo.
"Any change to the Fed dot plot is likely to result in near-term volatility, but I believe we are still on the path of higher prices over the coming months," he said.
Bullion becomes generally a more attractive investment in periods of lower interest rates and is considered a safe asset in times of turmoil.
Macroeconomic and geopolitical concerns, U.S. elections and a likely increase in equity market volatility also make a compelling case for increasing investment in gold, ANZ analysts said in a note.
"We expect gold prices to move towards $2,700 in the short term and reach a high of $2,900 by the end of 2025," the note added.
The FBI said that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump was the subject of a second assassination attempt on Sunday.
