World gold price this afternoon December 10, 2024
On the afternoon of December 12, 2024, the spot gold price on the world market reached 2,713.3 USD/ounce, while the gold futures price was 2,747.9 USD/ounce.
Gold prices rose after the US Labor Department released its November consumer price index (CPI), which showed inflation at 2.7%, slightly higher than October's 2.6%.
However, this inflation rate remains stable and does not increase too high, which strengthens the possibility that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) will continue to cut interest rates at the upcoming meeting.
Inflation has not picked up sharply but remains steady, which will give the Fed room to continue easing monetary policy, said David Meger, director of metals trading at High Ridge Futures.
Currently, the market predicts a 96% chance that the Fed will cut interest rates by another 0.25 percentage points at its meeting on December 17-18.
Previously, this rate was only about 86%. Investors are waiting for more information from the producer price index (PPI) to better understand the Fed's future interest rate cut plan.
Gold prices could hit a new record high in 2025, as U.S. Treasury yields ease and geopolitical factors remain a major driver of gold prices, according to Nitesh Shah, a currency strategist at WisdomTree. He predicts that gold prices could hit $3,000 an ounce by the end of next year.
Meanwhile, China's yuan weakened following reports that the country's monetary authorities were considering letting the currency depreciate to counter the threat of a trade war with the United States.
A weaker yuan could cause other Asian currencies to fall as well, creating jitters in financial markets, making gold a safer investment choice.
Technically, the February gold futures market is currently showing strong signs of buyers. The next target for gold is a break above the resistance level of $2,826.30 per ounce. Conversely, sellers will look to push the price below the support level of $2,650 per ounce.
