The price of Gold (XAUUSD) continues to rise, reaching a historic peak in early European trading on Tuesday (September 16, 2025).<\/p>\n
Gold touched US$3,698.70 per troy ounce, marking a new record. Compared to Monday’s closing prices, Gold has risen by over US$20, or 200 pips. With strong upward momentum remaining, Gold is poised to potentially breach the US$3,700 mark per troy ounce today.<\/p>\n
The Federal Reserve is expected to announce a significant interest rate cut early Thursday (September 18, 2025), which is a key factor driving Gold’s surge. Additionally, President Trump indicated yesterday that The Fed would likely implement a substantial interest rate reduction this week.<\/p>\n
“I believe there will be a massive rate cut,” Trump stated, as reported by Bloomberg.<\/p>\n
Market participants are currently anticipating that The Fed will lower rates by 25 basis points (0.25%) to a range of 4%-4.25%. If the large reduction occurs as suggested by Trump, it could imply a rate cut of at least 50 basis points (0.5%).<\/p>\n
Earlier today, the U.S. Senate confirmed Trump’s appointment of Stephen Miran to the Board of Governors of The Fed, who will immediately participate in this week’s monetary policy meeting.<\/p>\n
Miran is the chairman of Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers and will continue in that role while taking an unpaid leave during his term at The Fed. He replaces Adriana Kugler, who unexpectedly resigned in August.<\/p>\n
Miran’s entry is viewed by the market as a potential influence for aggressive interest rate cuts from The Fed.<\/p>\n
Should The Fed indeed proceed with a 50 basis point cut, the implications would be significant. Market participants will consider The Fed’s delay in rate cuts as indicative of a major slowdown in the U.S. economy, or worse, they may perceive that The Fed is beginning to lose its independence. Such conditions could further trigger a rise in Gold prices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
