Gold Hits Record High as Fed Cuts Rates, Titan Minerals Announces Major Stake Sale

Gold prices closed the week at another record high, reflecting market reactions to the Federal Reserve’s first interest rate cut since 2020.

The Fed’s decision to lower rates by 50 basis points, bringing the funds rate to a range of 4.75% to 5%, marks the start of a new easing cycle. Dubbed “interest rate normalization,” the central bank’s goal is to gradually bring the benchmark rate down to between 3% and 3.5% by 2025, sparking significant movement across global markets.
