After testing the key threshold of $2,000 an ounce timidly last week, gold confirmed a break above this major obstacle this week, reaching a high of $2052 on Wednesday, marking its highest level since May.
Indeed, expectations of a dovish Fed pivot are intensifying, weakening the US dollar and supporting the yellow metal.
After the recent lower-than-expected CPI data, comments by the usually dovish Fed member Christopher Waller sparked bets on Fed rate cuts in early 2024.
He suggested that a rate cut might be appropriate in a few months' time if inflation continues to slow.
As a result, investors are now factoring in a more than 46% probability that the Fed will cut rates at its March 20, 2024 meeting, according to the Investing.com rate monitor tool.

If the Fed is indeed poised to start a rate-cutting cycle, gold has a good chance of continuing to rise and reach new record highs, above the previous all-time high of May 2023, at over $2085.
