US Fed rate in focus

On why gold price rally extended for yet another session, Deveya Gaglani, Research Analyst - Commodities at Axis Securities said, “Softer inflation data from the USA this week increased the bet that the US Fed may pause hiking rates and will likely begin with a rate cut by mid-2024. Such a scenario will be favourable for bullion, given that higher rates push up the opportunity cost of holding gold."
