The price of gold reached a new all-time high on Monday, as speculation grew on what the Federal Reserve could do with rates in the coming months.
Following Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech on Friday, many have hinted that the bank may no longer hike rates in December.
In addition to this, some believe that a cut in rates could begin as soon as March 2024, should inflation continue to ease.

XAUUSD peaked at $2,148.78 earlier in the day.
