Why Is Gold Soaring?
1. Federal Reserve Rate Cut Expectations
Markets are increasingly pricing in a rate cut at the Fed’s September 16–17 meeting. Lower rates reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like gold.
2. Geopolitical & Economic Risks
Ongoing tensions, trade policy uncertainty, fiscal pressures, and a weakening dollar are fueling safe-haven demand.
3. Institutional and Central Bank Buying
Large-scale buying by central banks (e.g., India, China, Turkey, Poland) and institutions is further underpinning prices.
4. Market Structure & Technical Breakouts
Gold recently broke out of a five-month triangle consolidation pattern, indicating potential for continued upward momentum.
