The Gold Traders Association (GTA) announced a surge in gold prices today, after a significant drop. As of today, December 7, the gold bullion was sold for 34,300 baht per baht, showing a 100 baht increase compared to the closing price yesterday.

The sudden fluctuation in gold prices is a significant development, and the GTA advises those interested in trading gold to keep a close watch on the market. With its reputation for stability and value, gold remains a popular investment and trading commodity, both domestically and on the global market.

In related news, the trading community’s optimism for gold prices remains undeterred despite a recent slump, attributing potential strength to a possible end to US Federal Reserve interest rate increases and the escalating conflict in the Middle East.

Spot gold prices oscillated between US$1,978 and US$1,978 per ounce, marking an increase of US$3.02 or 0.15%. Concurrently, domestic gold bars traded between 33,850 and 33,900 baht, as per Hua Seng Heng’s report.

The gold price trajectory is influenced by several factors, including the mounting anticipation of a halt in the Fed’s interest rate hikes. This could lead to a weakened dollar and US bond yields, following the central bank’s decision to maintain the rate at a 22-year peak of 5.25-5.50%. To read more click HERE
