[Expert: Many factors have driven the international gold price to hit a record high] The international gold price has continued to rise in recent days, and the spot price of gold once rushed to US$2,080 per ounce on May 4, hitting a record high. Market analysis believes that, on the one hand, from the perspective of market sentiment, gold has benefited from the increase in safe-haven demand. Powell, on the other hand, was dovish on further interest rate policy. Affected by this, the U.S. dollar and U.S. bond yields continued to fall, and gold and silver rose sharply due to strong stimulus. Marex metals analyst Edward Mayer said investors were closely watching U.S. debt-ceiling talks and the subsequent Federal Reserve meeting, which could provide some guidance for expected gold prices. "Gold may be more sensitive to upside risks given the unease tone in the banking sector and uncertainty about the debt ceiling," said Standard Chartered analyst Suki Cooper. The international gold price will fluctuate further."
