The Federal Reserve has finally moved to cut interest rates, which directly lowered real interest rates, and the US dollar has also been pushed down. This is good news for gold — the holding costs have decreased, the cost-effectiveness has increased, and its attractiveness has significantly strengthened.

Deeper support levels are also accumulating. Central banks around the world are continuously buying gold, and the growth in mined gold production has a ceiling, with supply-side constraints already tight. This mismatch is pushing the central price level of gold upward.

Looking at the macro environment, geopolitical tensions fluctuate, and economic divergence across regions has intensified, activating gold’s safe-haven and inflation-hedging properties. Short-term volatility is a normal part of market correction, but in the medium term, the bullish logic remains intact.

The recent rate cut indeed boosted gold, but don't forget that the Fed is unpredictable, and they might raise interest rates again later.

Lower interest rates are the springtime for gold, this logic is very clear. The key is that the central bank is still quietly buying, and supply is also constrained. This game has been set up long ago.

The recent interest rate cut has indeed created a protective barrier for gold, but if you're dreaming of it skyrocketing to the sky, don't get your hopes up too much.

The Federal Reserve cutting interest rates is indeed a spring breeze for gold, but I still believe more in the logic of central banks疯狂囤金 (疯狂囤金: frantically hoarding gold). It really never ends.

Can gold still fall after this interest rate cut? I really can't understand this logic, haha.

"technically speaking, the fed's finally cutting—but let's not pretend this is some bulletproof bullish signal. supply squeeze sounds nice on paper, though... audit findings on cbdc positioning suggest we might be missing the actual vector here. interesting edge case if geopolitical escalates further, ngl."

As soon as interest rates are cut, gold benefits; this logic makes sense... However, I still want to wait for a pullback before jumping in, worried about catching a falling knife now.

The Fed's move directly sent gold soaring... Central banks are still frantically stockpiling gold, this logic makes perfect sense.

Lowering interest rates indeed benefits gold, but don't get too optimistic. We don't know how long the Federal Reserve can sustain this move.

The cut in interest rates has finally been implemented. Is gold about to take off? I think it still depends on how long those people at the central bank can really keep buying. Don't let it be another fleeting moment.
