The recent rally is most likely due to expectations of the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates. However, the Fed has pushed back against the likelihood of a cut in March. Nonetheless, the central bank is confident inflation rates will come to the 2% target.

According to Jigar Trivedi, an analyst at Reliance Securities, the Fed has ‘kept the window open for interest rate cuts, just not so much for one in March, keeping gold supported.‘

The Fed left interest rates unchanged after its most recent meeting. Traders anticipate 142 basis points (bps) of Fed rate cuts this year. While speaking on the possibility of rate cuts, Fed chair Jerome Powell stated, ‘I don’t think it’s likely that the committee will reach a level of confidence by the time of the March meeting.‘

According to a recent report by JPMorgan, gold prices could dip before reaching new heights. Specifically, it forecasted a continued surge to the $2300 level at the concluding months of this year. According to the financial institution, rate cuts and falling US real yields are driving gold’s growth.
