Gold Falls for the Fifth Consecutive Trading Session

November 14, 2024

On Thursday, the price of a troy ounce of Gold is lower, approaching 2,560.00 USD.

The current value of Gold is at an eight-week low, influenced by the strong US dollar. The market analyses the latest inflation statistics released in the US and draws rather ambitious conclusions.

The inflation statistics came out within expectations. The only thing that might have hurt investors’ attention was the three-month inflation numbers, which rose on a year-on-year basis. Even so, the CPI data increases the likelihood of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates in December. The odds of a rate cut are around 80%, up from less than 60% a couple of days ago.

Since last Friday’s sell-off, the gold price has fallen by 4%. The stock exchange opinion is as follows: since Donald Trump will become the new US President, the Fed will be forced to stop the easing cycle sooner or later. This is due to the protectionist policies that Trump and his administration usually pursue, which can stoke inflation.

A strong US dollar will visibly weigh on the value of Gold and force the precious metal to retreat.
