GOLD maintained a clear upward trend at the beginning of the week after the dollar slowed its rebound following the Fed's decision. Prices reached a historic high of over $3,700 per ounce, benefiting from the expected series of interest rate cuts in the US and growing macroeconomic uncertainty in key global economies. In addition, long-term bond yields in the US, UK, and France are rising, prompting investors to increase their exposure to safe-haven assets. Central banks are accelerating their balance sheet expansion, and gold ETF inventories are at their highest since the end of 2022. Seasonally, September and October are conducive to dynamic movements in the gold market, especially when profit-taking follows the Fed's decision.
GOLD and SILVER are among the best-performing commodities today, outshining OIL.WTI and NATGAS, which are typically more volatile on an intraday basis, based on historical data.
