GOLD: Gold briefly rose above $2,000 as the dollar fell.

Gold surpassed the threshold of 2,000 USD/oz in Tuesday's trading session thanks to expectations that interest rates of the US Federal Reserve (Fed) have peaked. The latest meeting minutes show that the central bank is quite cautious about raising interest rates further.

Spot gold contracts increased 1.07% to 1,998,356 USD/oz after at one point during the session hitting a 3-week high of 2,007.29 USD/oz. Gold futures contracts in the US also increased 1.1% to 2,001.60 USD/oz.

Comment:

"The bulls are aggressively stocking up on gold ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday," said Tai Wong, an independent metals trader based in New York.
Fed officials agreed at their most recent policy meeting that interest rates could only rise if future information suggests that inflation will decline, according to minutes released Tuesday. Development has not made the necessary progress.
The dollar has fallen to its lowest level in two-and-a-half months, making gold less attractive to holders of other currencies. The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond is also hovering around the two-month low hit last week. Signs of easing US inflation have raised expectations that the Federal Reserve will refrain from raising interest rates. And when interest rates fall, the opportunity cost of owning gold decreases.
