Gold Breaks All-Time-High !Gold surged above $2286 per ounce, marking yet another milestone in its remarkable ascent. This surge has persisted for two consecutive trading days, underscoring the enduring strength of the precious metal.
The driving force behind this meteoric rise is the mounting anticipation of an imminent interest rate cut by the US Federal Reserve in June. Such a move is expected to exert downward pressure on the US Dollar, consequently fueling further gains in Gold prices. Year-to-date, Gold has surged by an impressive 9.8%, with March alone witnessing a staggering increase of nearly 9.4%.
A closer examination from a technical standpoint reveals a bullish breakout from an ascending triangle formation, marked (in blue) which has been taking shape since early 2020. This breakout signals a robust indication of sustained bullish momentum in Gold prices over the long term. For traders, this presents a lucrative opportunity to capitalize on the prevailing bullish bias both in the intermediate and short term.
