Gold prices rose slightly in Asian trading on Thursday, supported by hopes of an interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve next month, while investors await the scheduled U.S.-Russia talks this week.
Spot gold rose by 0.2% to $3,361.87 per ounce, while December gold futures settled at $3,409.65 per ounce as of 08:19 AM Saudi time.
Gold prices have increased for the third consecutive day after a sharp decline at the beginning of the week, when President Donald Trump stated that gold bars would not face tariffs.
Most Asian currencies rose on Thursday, with the Japanese yen leading the gains as the dollar came under pressure from market expectations of an interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve in September.
The yen received support from increasing speculation about a rate hike by the Bank of Japan, after U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Posen warned that the Bank of Japan is lagging in its efforts to curb inflation.
Wider Asian markets benefited from improved risk appetite and a weaker dollar, as markets estimated nearly a 100% likelihood that the Federal Reserve would cut interest rates in September.
However, larger risk moves were restrained due to some caution regarding U.S. tariffs, especially with India accelerating efforts to avoid high tariffs on its exports to the United States.

gold in 2025.. not Bitcoin.considers 2025 to be a positive year for various markets, which is the year that the Wall Street indices, Bitcoin, stocks, and gold succeeded in achieving historical peaks. However, in this article, we will shed light on the best deal since 2025 and we have compared the main indicators of the American and Arab markets, as well as gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum.
Euphoria of the markets.. everyone on the brink of a historical peak Ethereum took the first place with profits since the beginning of the year of more than 40% and Ethereum is chasing a historical peak that is currently about 5% away. Bitcoin, which has now surpassed $122,000, is also chasing a new historical peak if it rises by an additional 1% today. As for the Dow Jones, the historical index of the American market, it is also chasing a new historical peak, while the S&P 500 closed yesterday at a historical peak and any rise today means renewing it.
Standard Chartered Bank raised its price forecast for Ethereum at the end of the year to $7,500 instead of $4,000 on Wednesday, based on improved interaction in the sector and increased cryptocurrency holdings in recent months.
The bank's new target represents a premium of nearly 60% above the highest level Ethereum has recorded in more than three and a half years, which reached $4,700 on Wednesday. The second-largest cryptocurrency in the world is the preferred choice for those seeking more active returns, unlike Bitcoin, which relies solely on price increases, as Ethereum can be used in staking operations, a practice where token holders lock their tokens to support the Ethereum network in exchange for rewards.
Cryptocurrency prices have resumed a collective rise led by Bitcoin during trading on Wednesday, following a strong decline yesterday.
This rise came with calm in the markets and a reduction in fears after the White House announced the extension of the trade truce with China for an additional 90 days, ending on November 10th.
Cryptocurrencies had recorded strong gains at the beginning of the week, with Bitcoin nearing its all-time highs, surpassing the $122,000 level.
Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization after Bitcoin, also achieved strong gains, contributing to the rise in the crypto market.
However, the cryptocurrency market experienced a nearly collective decline led by Bitcoin yesterday due to profit-taking and corrections. During today's trading, Bitcoin recorded an increase of about 0.56%, trading at the level of $119,543.
The market capitalization of the world's most popular cryptocurrency rose to $2.38 trillion, while the trading volume over the last 24 hours decreased to $73.05 billion.
On a weekly basis, Bitcoin successfully added about 5.15% to its value, achieving significant gains.
As for the prices of other cryptocurrencies, the price of Ethereum jumped by 8.36% to $4,644, while the price of Binance Coin increased by approximately 3.95% to $840.
The dollar fell to its lowest level in two weeks on Wednesday, after weak inflation data in the United States bolstered expectations that the Federal Reserve would cut interest rates next month, while attempts by President Donald Trump to expand his influence over American institutions increased pressure on the currency.
The dollar index, which measures the performance of the U.S. currency against a basket of competing currencies, fell to 97.76, its lowest level since July 28, continuing its losses of 0.5% on Tuesday.
Data released on Tuesday showed that consumer prices in the United States rose marginally in July, in line with expectations, while the impact of the broad tariffs imposed by Trump on the prices of goods has been limited so far.
Investors, who are anticipating an imminent rate cut, welcomed this data, pricing in a 98% chance that the Fed would ease monetary policy next month, according to LSEG data.
Comprehensive evaluation analysis identified significant growth potential in the artificial intelligence server company before broad recognition
While Wall Street was still analyzing developments in artificial intelligence among American companies, sophisticated investors using advanced valuation tools were already positioning themselves to capitalize on AI infrastructure opportunities. InvestingPro's fair value model achieves an 87% gain in Super Micro, demonstrating how analytical platforms can identify profitable opportunities before broad market recognition.
Super Micro Compu (NASDAQ: SMCI) provides a case study in comprehensive financial analysis within the current technology landscape. When InvestingPro's valuation algorithms indicated that the artificial intelligence infrastructure specialist was undervalued in October 2024, few individual investors recognized the significant opportunity behind the surface fluctuations.
Former U.S. President "Donald Trump" sharply criticized Federal Reserve Chairman "Jerome Powell", describing him as "always late", and called for an immediate interest rate cut. Trump said: "Jerome Powell needs to lower interest rates now, Steve Mnuchin introduced me to this loser as a great deal, but the damage caused by his constant delays is incalculable."
Trump added in a post on the social media platform "Truth Social" that the strength of the U.S. economy has allowed the country to surpass Powell and the "sluggish" board, as he described it, explaining: "Fortunately, the economy is so strong that we have surpassed Powell and the lazy board."

The biotech company also holds approximately $238 million in cash equivalents alongside its position in Ethereum. The company completed a PIPE transaction last week that provided capital to purchase the cryptocurrencies.
Mikandrew Rodesil, the CEO of the company, stated: "At ETHZilla, we have invested over $350 million of capital since the PIPE transaction we completed last week, and we have executed our strategy to rapidly build a distinctive Ethereum treasury vehicle."
The company plans to rename itself to ETHZilla and has partnered with Electric Capital to manage its treasury strategy. According to the company, the newly acquired Ethereum will be allocated through Electric Capital's Ethereum network strategies to generate yield.
Bitcoin traders are moving towards seeking protection from the downturn ahead of the release of U.S. inflation data, which is expected to reveal the initial impact of the tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump on consumer prices.
The report is expected to be released at 15:30 Riyadh time, where it is anticipated that the headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) will show an increase of 2.8% year-on-year in July, compared to a 2.7% increase in June.
On a monthly basis, prices are expected to rise by 0.2%, which is a slight decrease from July's increase of 0.3%. The core Consumer Price Index, which excludes volatile food and energy components, is likely to have risen by 0.3% in July after a 0.2% increase in June.
Here are the price predictions for the Pepe coin after its successful breakout from the descending wedge pattern, potentially providing gains of around 135%. Is it one of the best meme coins to buy now?
After rising by more than 12% in the last 7 days, the recent breakout of the Pepe coin price supports its optimistic forecasts for possible gains of around 135%. Although other meme coins have also achieved similar gains during the same period, the performance of the Pepe coin has surpassed that of the top 5 coins in this category, indicating that its launch is gaining momentum.
Additionally, the trading volumes have increased again, doubling from its recent low of around $400 million to nearly $1 billion yesterday, suggesting that the Pepe coin may be entering key price zones. In just the last 3 days, 2.8 billion of its coins have been traded, and similarly, the activities in the futures markets for the Pepe coin have increased, indicating renewed interest from traders in betting on its imminent price movements.
The American investment bank Goldman Sachs (GS) stated that it does not expect the United States to impose tariffs on gold imports, a move that eased the concerns that swept the markets after the recent record surge in prices, which came after reports of a potential imposition of special tariffs on imported gold bullion by Washington.
The bank clarified that despite the recent fluctuations, it maintained its previous forecast that the price of gold will reach $3,700 per ounce by the end of 2025, and that the precious metal will continue its upward trajectory towards $4,000 by mid-2026, driven by strong demand from central banks and investors seeking safe havens, alongside geopolitical risks and global economic uncertainty.

The price of Bitcoin has risen to approach a new record level, driven by strong demand from institutional investors and buyers from corporate treasuries, which has lifted the overall digital asset market.
The leading cryptocurrency increased by as much as 3.2% to exceed $122,000, nearing the record level set in mid-July. During the weekend, Ethereum also saw a surge, exceeding $4,300, its highest level since December 2021.
These gains come amid growing interest from major investors in cryptocurrencies. Digital asset treasury companies — entities focused on accumulating cryptocurrencies — have so far amassed a Bitcoin inventory valued at $113 billion, according to CoinGecko data. Meanwhile, similar entities for Ethereum have accumulated a value of $13 billion in the token.
Bitcoin rose on Monday, continuing its strong recovery since the end of last week as cryptocurrency markets celebrated an order from U.S. President Donald Trump allowing pension funds to invest in this sector.
The second-largest cryptocurrency, Ether, also advanced after surpassing the $4,000 level last week, remaining close to the record levels it reached during the bull run in 2021.
Prices of other cryptocurrencies also increased, showing strong gains since the end of last week, especially following the executive order issued by Trump.
The price of Bitcoin (Bitcoin) has risen by approximately 1% to 117,500$ in the last 24 hours, as the currency enjoys a market value of $2.34 trillion and a daily trading volume of $58.4 billion. The price is considered high by 3.6% in a week and is approaching 120,000$ while institutional demand and market movements redraw the shape of previous price cycles. The Bitcoin (Bitcoin) mining reward halving cycle that occurs every 4 years - where the price rises significantly about a year after each halving event - shows signs of change. In 2024, the price of Bitcoin (Bitcoin) reached 73,000$ in March before the usual cycle peak, and analysts say this change is attributed to Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (BTC ETFs) in the United States and increased institutional interest and a more mature market structure.

Veteran cryptocurrency critic Peter Schiff prefers Bitcoin over Ethereum, although Ethereum has seen a significant rise in recent days. This news is favorable for Ethereum, which surpassed Bitcoin's gains in the last week, sparking discussions about the onset of an "altcoin season" that has led to a notable decline in Bitcoin's market dominance.
Ethereum (ETH) recorded a performance that outpaced Bitcoin (BTC) last week with a price increase of 21%. These gains coincided with the beginning of "altcoin season," which resulted in Bitcoin's market share declining to notable levels over the past seven days. Due to these factors, discussions are being raised about whether Ethereum's price is on its way to a rise towards its all-time high of $4,800.
