Gold prices fluctuated significantly after the US released the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Index – the preferred inflation measure of the Federal Reserve (Fed). It rose by 0.1% in November, much lower than October’s 0.3% increase. Over the past 12 months, US inflation rose by 2.8%, just 0.1 percentage points lower than the predicted 2.9%. This caused the value of the US dollar to drop by 0.4% from its two-year high, pushing gold prices up.
Global investors are once again feeling the allure of gold. Market strategist Phillip Streible of Blue Line Futures commented that, in addition to the PCE data, personal income and spending data also fell short of expectations. People are returning to the gold market and re-establishing their positions.
Analysts and economists unanimously assert that gold will reach the $3,000 per ounce mark in the coming period. Gold started 2024 at $2,000 per ounce and is on track to end the year with an approximate 25% gain.
