Gold price hits six-month high as investors bet on rate cuts

Slide in dollar and growing expectations that interest rates will fall next year drive strong rally in yellow metal

The price of gold rose to a six-month high on Monday, buoyed by growing conviction among investors that the US Federal Reserve has finished raising interest rates, and a weaker dollar.

Spot gold prices rose 0.6 per cent to $2,014.55 per troy ounce, the highest level since mid-May. The move took the precious metal’s gains since hitting a seven-month low at the start of October to just over 10 per cent, and left it around 3 per cent below its all-time high reached in August 2020.

Gold’s ascent has been supported by a sliding dollar, which has declined about 3 per cent against a basket of six peers in November, meaning that buying the precious metal is cheaper for investors holding other currencies.
