Global gold prices have continued their upward trend, with gold prices reaching $2,360/ounce.
This is the strongest increase in 5 weeks, as more and more investors expect that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) will soon adjust monetary policy towards loosening. This optimism is further reinforced by recent economic data, which shows a slowdown in the US economy, increasing expectations that the Fed will have to loosen monetary policy in the near future. Specifically, after the US monthly employment report did not meet expectations, the latest report on weekly unemployment benefit applications increased higher than expected, which pushed gold prices up more than 1%. , reaching its highest level of the month.
