Gold prices experienced a volatile week due to developments both globally and in Turkey. After reaching record levels, the price of gold per ounce fell to $3,015, while the price of gold per gram decreased to 3,684 Turkish lira. Now, gold investors are focusing on the scenario being discussed in the United States.

There is a slow decline in global gold prices per ounce. This development is also pulling down the gram prices in the domestic market. A stagnant period has begun under the expectation of rising inflation in the U.S. However, in such an environment, U.S. President Donald Trump has requested the Federal Reserve (Fed) to lower interest rates. Gold investors are preparing for a scenario that is expected to directly affect the prices of precious metals.
The additional customs duties initiated by Trump are negatively impacting the U.S. economy. While predictions suggest that inflation data will come in higher than expected, the expectation that the U.S. will default is also showing signs of weakness in gold.
WHAT HAPPENS IF THE FED CUTS INTEREST RATES?
A Fed interest rate cut generally creates an upward effect on the price of gold per ounce. There are several reasons for this:
Low interest rates: When the Fed lowers interest rates, investors typically seek lower returns. This can increase demand for gold because, although gold does not provide interest returns, it retains its value as a safe haven.
Decline in the value of the dollar: Interest rate cuts can often lead to a decline in the value of the dollar. Since gold is priced in dollars, as the dollar weakens, the price of gold generally increases.
Inflation expectations: The Fed's interest rate cuts are made to stimulate the economy, but this can increase inflation expectations. Gold is seen as a hedge against inflation, so in an environment where inflation expectations rise, gold prices may increase.
As a result, if the Fed cuts interest rates, the price of gold generally moves upward. However, how the markets will react depends on many factors, so it is difficult to make a precise prediction.
