Gold received high demand in the market, buoyed by imminent rate cut from central banks around the world. The yellow bullion notched in positive gains this week as Federal Reserve, Bank of Canada and European Central Bank is expected to loosen their monetary policy in the coming months.
According to analysts, gold price is expected to set record high this year due to ongoing conflict in Middle East while coupled with lower interest rates. Likewise, traders flock into gold market over fears of US government debt which may worsen due to diminished economic momentum in the recent months.
