Gold values reach new highs as expectations for additional Fed rate cuts rise. It is trading at about $3727 and reached an intraday high of $3728.32.
Following the Federal Reserve's 25 basis point rate cut on September 17, 2025, bringing the federal funds rate to 4.00%-4.25%, market expectations for further easing have surged, with the CME FedWatch Tool indicating an 86% chance of another cut in October, up from 71.6% pre-meeting. Driven by a weakening job market, with payroll growth below 100,000 for four months and unemployment at 4.3%, the Fed's dovish stance is supported by its updated dot plot projecting a year-end 2025 rate of 3.5%-3.75%, implying about 70 basis points of cuts this year and one more in 2026. Despite inflation at 2.9%, above the 2% target, the Fed prioritizes employment support, with markets closely watching Fed Chair Powell and FOMC members for further guidance on the easing cycle.
