Gold rises as fading Fed rate hike bets and ANZ's $5,000 2027 forecast lift prices.
Context
What happened: Gold prices climbed as investors scaled back expectations for another Federal Reserve rate hike in October following comments from Fed Chair Kevin Warsh.
Key numbers: Spot gold rose 0.2% to $4,173.59 per ounce; U.S. futures rose 0.3% to $4,194.05.
Why it matters: Reduced rate hike expectations improved gold's appeal, since higher rates typically pressure the non-yielding metal. ANZ sees limited near-term upside from elevated yields and dollar strength but expects sustained investment and central bank demand to support prices longer term.
