Gold Price Today: Gold Steady Near 2-Week High as Investors Eye Fed Rate Cut Hopes

Gold Price Today (27-Nov-2025): Gold prices remained steady on Thursday after hitting a more than one-week high in the previous session, as market participants weighed the possibility of an interest rate cut in December amid conflicting signals from the U.S. Federal Reserve.

Comex Gold advanced in the last session, closing firmly above the $4,150 mark and touching a two-week high. The move came as expectations of a softer US policy stance pressured the dollar and reduced the opportunity cost of holding bullion. Futures and money markets now assign more than an 80% probability to a 25 bps rate cut in December, while reports suggesting Kevin Hassett as the frontrunner for the Fed chair position further strengthened the case for easier policy ahead.

BULLION FUNDAMENTALS

  • Elsewhere, spot silver was flat at $53.34 per ounce, platinum fell 0.3% to $1,583.94, and palladium lost 0.4% to $1,417.56.
  • Spot gold was steady at $4,162.98 per ounce, as of 0047 GMT. U.S. gold futures for December delivery fell 0.1% to $4,158.60 per ounce.
  • Conflicting signals on the timing and magnitude of interest rate cuts have accelerated hedging flows into swaptions and derivatives tied to overnight rates, with investors seeking protection against heightened policy uncertainty.
  • Some Fed officials, led by New York Fed President John Williams and Governor Christopher Waller, have stated a December rate cut may be warranted due to labor market weakness putting downward pressure on Treasury yields and reinforcing dovish bets in futures markets.
  • Benchmark 10-year Treasury yields held near one-month lows in the previous session.
  • Their stance, however, contrasted with several regional Fed presidents advocating a pause in easing until inflation shows a more convincing move toward the 2% target.
  • Meanwhile, Kevin Hassett, who has emerged as a frontrunner to replace Jerome Powell as Fed Chair, like U.S. President Donald Trump, has said interest rates should be lower.
  • U.S. rate futures are pricing in an 85% chance of a rate cut in December, according to the CME’s FedWatch tool.
  • Non-yielding gold tends to perform well in low-interest-rate environments.
  • Data on Wednesday showed that the number of Americans filing new applications for unemployment benefits fell last week, though the labor market is struggling to generate enough jobs for those out of work.
  • U.S. consumer confidence also weakened in November as households grew more concerned about jobs and their financial outlook.

Comex Copper posted modest gains after Codelco signaled plans to raise prices for Chinese buyers. The shift underscores a broader rebalancing in favor of US customers at a time when tariffs and tightening raw material availability continue to reshape trade flows
