Gold prices have been on a tear in the past week, boosted by risk aversion across financial markets, triggered by worries about the health of Credit Suisse. The yellow metal has risen above $1,960\/oz, its highest level since April 2022. The benchmark 10-year US Treasury bond yield is down nearly 5% on the day near 3.4%, allowing XAU\/USD to cling to its impressive daily gains.[0]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

The US inflation print for February came in at 6% year-on-year, indicating disinflation but at a pace much lower than what the Fed would like.[1]<\/a><\/sup> As a result, markets see an 80% chance of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates by 25 basis points next week and a 55% chance of one more rate hike in May.[2]<\/a><\/sup> The CME FedWatch Tool also shows that markets see the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates by late summer.[2]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

With inflation still way above target, the aggressive downward revision in the Fed\u2019s rate hike cycle might reverse if the Fed sees an additional need for action to combat inflation. This could trigger another fall in the Gold price towards the $1,800 mark in the second quarter, followed by a rise to $1,950 by year-end, according to experts at Commerzbank.[3]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

The Australian dollar gold price also hit an all-time record of A$2874 per ounce overnight, exceeding the previous high of A$2868 per ounce recorded on 6 August 2020. The record was a result of a high US dollar gold price and a lower Australian dollar exchange rate versus the US dollar.<\/p>\n
