Gold Futures Hit New Record High Amid Weak Economic Data

Gold futures closed at a new record high due to weak U.S. economic data, leading to a decline in the dollar and Treasury yields. The complex interplay of economic data, fluctuating dollar fortunes, bond yields, and Federal Reserve actions contributed to this surge. Factors such as tamer U.S. inflation data and a weaker dollar index supported the rally. The market dynamics, including strong Asian buying and expectations of Fed rate cuts, are driving the gold price higher, with experts predicting a continued rally.
