Why this matters

Gold is often seen as a safe-haven asset, and its price fluctuations can indicate broader economic sentiment and inflation expectations. A significant forecast cut by a major investment bank like Goldman Sachs, driven by Federal Reserve policy, signals a shift in market expectations for interest rates and economic stability.
