Although the market expects the possibility of interest rate cuts to be about 90%, any sign in the data that shakes the path of interest rate cuts may adversely affect interest-free gold assets. Analysts added that in the case of geopolitical tensions, the demand for safe haven also boosted the price of precious metals.
