gold prices past 2700 Dollar

Gold Price, Comex Gold Price, Comex Silver Price: Gold prices surged above $2,700, with Comex futures nearing $2,740, as market participants anticipate crucial economic developments. The release of U.S. inflation data and China’s annual Central Economic Work Conference are expected to guide market trends. Fed Watch Tool data indicates an 88% probability of a rate cut in the Federal Reserve’s December 18 meeting, adding momentum to the rally. The European Central Bank (ECB) meeting later this week is also in focus.

China’s Strategic Moves and Stimulus Plans
Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng has recently engaged with U.S. finance executives, signaling efforts to bolster relationships amid trade tensions. Meanwhile, China’s key policy meeting, starting Wednesday, will outline economic policies and growth targets for 2024. The Chinese central bank’s resumption of gold purchases in November, after a six-month hiatus, and discussions of fresh economic stimulus have provided additional support to gold and silver prices.

Market Performance on Tuesday
In international markets, gold February futures settled at $2,718.40 per troy ounce (+1.21%), and silver March futures at $32.747 per troy ounce (+0.42%). Domestically, gold February futures closed at ₹78,338 per 10 grams (+1.10%), and silver March futures at ₹95,525 per kilogram (+0.34%). Gold hit a two-week high, and silver reached a one-month high, buoyed by safe-haven demand amid geopolitical tensions in Syria and South Korea.
