Gold reached a record high, nearing $2,500 per ounce, as traders anticipated Federal Reserve rate cuts due to cooling inflation. This surge, driven by large central bank purchases, strong consumer demand in China, and geopolitical tensions, saw gold prices rally 1.9% on Tuesday. Although Chris Weston from Pepperstone Group suggests gold might test $2,500 soon, some indicators hint at an overbought market. Additionally, political uncertainty, including a recent assassination attempt on Donald Trump, is impacting market sentiment, potentially reinforcing gold’s safe-haven appeal amid escalating trade tensions.
