Fed rate cut bets push gold prices to fresh all-time high of Rs 1.09 lakh. Will hopes drive more gains?

Gold futures on MCX soared to a record high of Rs 1,09,000/10 grams, fueled by expectations of aggressive US Fed rate cuts. Silver futures also remained firm, while international spot gold hit an all-time high of $3,646.53/oz. Weak U.S. job data has increased the likelihood of these rate cuts, weakening the dollar and supporting precious metal prices.
