Gold prices rise on September US rate-cut expectations
==========

Gold prices increased on August 26, 2024, due to a weaker dollar and lower Treasury yields following dovish comments from U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, who indicated a likely rate cut in September. Spot gold rose 0.4% to US$2,520.39 per ounce, while U.S. gold futures also gained 0.4% to US$2,556.00. Traders anticipate a 62% chance of a 25 basis point cut and a 38% chance of a 50 basis point cut. The ongoing tensions in the Middle East further supported gold's rise. India's gold demand is expected to remain strong due to reduced import duties.
