Gold Price Increase Reason
Gold Price Increase Reasons are the following:
- Fed’s rate cut
Last week, the US Central Bank, Federal Reserve cut its benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points to 4.75%-5.00% for the first time in last four years. Slashing of rates is considered positive for the yellow metal. Consequently, gold prices have only increased since then.
2. Geopolitical tensions
Ongoing war in the middle east and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has also played its part in gold price surge globally. The oldest commodity known to mankind is perceived by the people as safe haven to invest during such uncertainties. Everytime there has been economic uncertainties or war, people have chosen to invest in the precious metal leading to surge in its prices. The same thing is happening currently with the yellow metal.
