Gold prices have been on the rise, with a surge for the second consecutive week fueled by the possibility of a US Federal Reserve rate cut following encouraging US inflation data. This has led to significant movement in the yellow metal market, prompting profit-booking in currency markets. The anticipation of a rate cut in the upcoming US Fed meeting has further bolstered gold prices.
Spot gold has climbed 2.1 percent to $2,086.21 per ounce, reaching its highest level since late December and marking a second consecutive weekly gain. This increase comes as global gold prices rise amid a lower inflation rate, raising expectations of US Federal Bank interest rate cuts.
