Gold hits all-time high as Fed-fuelled rally continues
Gold prices surged to a record high as the slowing US inflation trend fueled expectations of a mid-year interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve. Spot gold climbed 0.6% to $2,244.89 per ounce and hit an all-time high of $2,262.19. Rising rate cut expectations and geopolitical tensions have propelled gold prices by over 8% this year.
