Even with the dollar having strengthened and traders scaling back to pricing in a 25 bps move for the Fed in the past week or so, it hasn't really fazed gold prices whatsoever. There was a mild dip back towards $2,605 earlier this week but that didn't last with prices rebounding in the past two days. Now, gold is up another 0.3% today to $2,638 and holding near 28% gains year-to-date. After the rise earlier in the year, gold saw some consolidation around mid-April to June. All that before another run higher and so far this year, there hasn't really been any looking back for gold. It's been a stunning ride to fresh record highs on multiple occasions in 2024.
