Gold Price Nears All-Time Highs As Market Confidence In Fed Rate Cuts Grows, Igniting Gold Miners Rally
Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
Gold prices have surged, nearing all-time highs, as market confidence grows in potential Fed rate cuts. The SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) is close to its record high, while the U.S. dollar index weakens, as tracked by the Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ETF (UUP). Fed Governor Waller's dovish remarks have increased bets on rate cuts, leading to a decline in Treasury yields. This has boosted gold miners, with the VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX), Direxion Daily Gold Miners Index Bull 2XShares (NUGT), and VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ) all posting gains. Gold Fields Limited (GFI), AngloGold Ashanti plc (AU), and Newmont Corporation (NEM) were among the top performers.
