Fed Rate Cuts, Central Banks, & Gold’s Path to $4,000 | The Gold Spot

Gold’s trajectory is increasingly tied to expectations of Federal Reserve policy, with markets strongly anticipating a September 2025 rate cut that could reignite momentum after months of sideways trading.

Analysts view the potential easing as the restart of a cycle paused in late 2024, when the Fed delivered three cuts in quick succession before holding steady amid mixed economic data and tariff-driven inflation risks.

Forecasts from major institutions such as Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, and UBS point to additional reductions in 2025 and 2026, with gold price forecasts pushing target prices between $3,600 and $4,250 an ounce in the next 18 months.

Historically, gold has tended to rise when interest rates fall, as the opportunity cost of holding the metal declines and the US dollar weakens. Studies suggest the impact is strongest when cuts coincide with economic downturns, with average gains of 15% to 20%. Alongside strong central bank gold demand, easing monetary policy remains a powerful tailwind for gold prices.

Watch this week’s The Gold Spot to hear Scottsdale Bullion & Coin’s Sr. Precious Metals Advisor Steve Rand and Precious Metals Advisor Brian Conneely examine the likelihood of cuts in September, their typical impact on gold prices, and just how high the yellow metal could climb.
