Gold prices stabilized and surged to a new record high around $2,600 per troy ounce after the Fed implemented a 0.50% rate cut. However, Fed Chairman Powell's press release caused gold prices to decline shortly afterward, closing lower than the previous day. The market's strong expectation of further rate cuts compared to the Fed's updated dot plot could lead to gold price volatility as future meeting results are announced.
