June 2024 gold market: Consolidation after the spring records

Range-bound

An orderly pause after the record-setting spring.

Gold consolidated around $2,320–$2,330 in June 2024 after its torrid spring run, as the Federal Reserve held rates steady and trimmed its projected number of 2024 cuts. The pause was orderly, with central-bank and Asian demand absorbing the profit-taking.

What drove gold in June 2024

  • Fed holds rates, projects fewer cuts
