Gold soared above 3690 to hit a new record high! The Fed is about to cut interest rates, and gold bulls are still dominant

Spot gold prices surged strongly during the Asian and European trading sessions on Tuesday (September 16), rising 0.40% to a new all-time high of $3,694.07 per ounce. The market remained volatile during the European session. Gold prices were driven by a combination of factors, including a weakening US dollar index and declining US Treasury yields. The most anticipated event was the Federal Reserve's FOMC interest rate decision, announced on September 17 (local time, September 18, Beijing time).

If the Fed cuts interest rates by 50 basis points, gold prices will rise well above $3,700

Robert Minter, head of ETF strategy at Abdn, said gold prices are on track to reach his year-end target of $3,700 per ounce, but the rally could accelerate if the Federal Reserve unexpectedly cuts interest rates by 50 basis points. Minter said the sharp downward revision to employment data, coupled with rising initial jobless claims and weak summer job growth, increases the risk of a major Fed action this week. He is also bullish on silver.

The divergence between the Fed's easing expectations and the Bank of Japan's interest rate hike prospects pushed USD/JPY down to 147.

The USD/JPY exchange rate fell to around 147 during the Asian session, pressured by expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut and rising expectations for a Bank of Japan rate hike this year. While domestic political uncertainty in Japan may lead the central bank to act cautiously, a tight labor market and a mildly optimistic economic outlook support a rate hike. Technical indicators suggest that a break below 147 could push the exchange rate further towards 146 or even 145.

Expectations of a Fed rate cut and geopolitical tensions pushed gold prices to new highs, with prices approaching $3,700, but technical indicators indicate overbought risks.

Gold prices hit a new high of $3,690 during the Asian session on Tuesday, before entering a period of consolidation. Expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut, a declining US dollar, and geopolitical risks are supporting gold prices. However, the daily RSI remains in overbought territory, suggesting potential for a short-term correction. With the market focused on this week's Federal Reserve decision and policy developments from several central banks, gold prices face a directional challenge near the $3,700 mark.
