Re-ignite the interest rate cut by half a percentage point before the interest rate discussion. I hope that the price of gold will hit the biggest weekly increase in nearly four years. Last week, the US dollar fell again, and inflation is no longer a threat. The market is looking forward to the Fed's interest rate reduction meeting this week. In addition to the official interest rate reduction period, it is even more likely to start cutting interest rates sharply. The probability of reducing interest rates by half a percentage point this week has increased from 20% to nearly 50%, and it is expected to reduce interest rates by as much as one percentage point before the end of the year. That is, there will be room for at least one interest rate reduction by half a percentage point in the remaining three meetings this year, which will undoubtedly add insult to injury to the weakening US dollar.

However, if this bitmap shows that the interest rate will be reduced more sharply at the end of the year, even in 2025, it will hopefully extend the room for the gold price to rise. We need to pay attention to the orientation of the bitmap of directors and the market situation.
