âĄïļThe global gold market experienced considerable volatility last week, with prices swinging widely. Gold prices steadied at the start of the week as investors awaited key economic data for October. However, precious metal prices surged dramatically after the report revealed a substantial reduction in inflationary pressures. This sparked expectations that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) may have concluded its aggressive monetary tightening cycle. Gold prices rallied close to the crucial $2,000 per ounce threshold, ending a three-week losing streak.
âĄïļKitco News' recent weekly gold survey indicates that retail investors remain strongly bullish on gold, while market analysts are more cautious about the precious metal's near-term prospects.
