XAUUSD

The gold market has been supported by the US bond yields falling to their lowest point since July and the swaps markets pricing in almost a 90% chance of an interest rate cut by March. The opportunity cost of holding zero-yielding gold is reduced by a lower bond yield, which increases investor appeal. With gold’s current price of $2,048.85, it is expected to rise 14.46% in 2023—its first annual gain in three years.
