Gold Rush: XAU/USD Trading Update Points to Possible Record Highs

Fundamental Analysis: Gold has surged to over a two-week peak today, catalysed by a softening dollar amid market speculation that the Federal Reserve may halt interest rate hikes.


Spot gold reached $1,987.79 per ounce, buoyed by a more than 2-1/2-month low in the U.S. dollar and near two-month low yields on U.S. 10-year Treasuries.
