Gold prices have risen significantly, closing above $2,500 for the second consecutive week as of August 23, 2024. This increase in gold prices coincides with a decline in the U.S. Dollar Index, which has reached a 13-month low. The situation is attributed to the Federal Reserve's recent policy decisions, which are seen as a pivot that may lead to higher inflation and lower interest rates. The performance of gold is being tracked across various currencies, including the Indian Rupee, Russian Ruble, Chinese Yuan, and the Euro, with historical data indicating a consistent upward trend since 2000.
