[The US Fed Remains in an Interest Rate Cut Cycle, Gold Prices Expected to Continue Fluctuating Upward] After a brief adjustment, gold prices have recently returned to an upward fluctuation trend. The COMEX gold futures price reached a peak of $2,735 per ounce, while the London spot gold price once surpassed the $2,700 per ounce mark, the first time in over a month. Industry insiders stated that the recent marginal shift in the US Fed's monetary policy expectations from tightening to easing has exerted initial pressure but subsequently provided support for gold prices in the short to medium term. Moreover, supported by factors such as market risk aversion, capital allocation, and central bank reserve demand, gold prices are expected to continue fluctuating upward in 2025.
