Precious metal prices received a significant uplift on Thursday 16th May 2024 following the release of better-than-expected U.S. inflation data, which increased the likelihood of rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, again.
Gold prices reached their highest point in over three weeks on Thursday too, while silver achieved its highest price in over three years, and platinum ascended to a peak close to its one-year high.
According to strategists in a recent comment, gold prices might soon approach the $2,400 again, silver could rise to as much as $30 per ounce, and platinum has the potential to hit $1,130 per ounce.
