Gold prices hit $2.1K as 'perfect storm' brews: Strategist

finance.yahoo.com

Prices of gold (GC=F) have soared, breaking the $2,100 mark as investors bet on potential rate cuts. Phillip Streible, Blue Line Future Chief Market Strategist, joins Yahoo Finance Live to share his perspective on why the precious metal could be an attractive investment.

Streible says, "there is a perfect storm brewing in the gold market," with the commodity climbing $150 "above its February lows." He explains that in the event of a regional bank crisis, the Federal Reserve may "pull forward" anticipated rate cuts originally slated for May or June, providing a tailwind for gold to rally further.

The strategist also highlights that the forthcoming jobs report on Friday will offer crucial insights into rate cut expectations and inflationary pressures. He suggests that a figure below 200,000 could "expedite the prospects of an interest rate cut," although he urges caution regarding "seasonal factors" that may influence job market data.
