The negative realization of inflation expectations in the US economy and the aggressive messages from Israel and Iran are affecting gold prices.
Inflation data in the US came in high again, and deterioration continues in the data followed by the Fed. While an interest rate cut was expected from the Fed, the rate cut has been postponed towards the end of the year due to the poor data.
The main reason for the rise in gold is the statements of Israel and Iran that have brought them to the brink of conflict.
Economist Barış Soydan made a remarkable assessment regarding gold prices. “What happened on the holiday,” said Soydan, listing the reasons for the rise in gold prices after gram gold broke its record.
Sharing on his social media account after the rise in gold, Economist Barış Soydan made the following statements regarding the rise in gold prices:
“What happened on the holiday: America’s producer price inflation came in below expectations. The European Central Bank signaled that it would start cutting interest rates in June. With these and the expectation of an Israeli retaliation from Iran, gold is rising again.”
