According to a recent analysis from JP Morgan, the Federal Reserve should not start cutting interest rates until the second half of 2025. This prediction comes as the Fed maintains a cautious “wait-and-see” approach, keeping rates steady for now amidst a complex economic backdrop. As someone who's been watching these financial currents for a while, this forecast feels like a realistic assessment of the pressures and uncertainties our economy is currently navigating.

You know, lately I've been digging into what's happening with gold, and let me tell you, some experts are making some pretty bold predictions. The gold price forecast is definitely turning heads, with whispers of it potentially soaring to a staggering $6,000 per ounce by 2029. That's a massive jump from where we are now! Analysts at JPMorgan suggest this could happen if even a small fraction just 0.5% of the U.S. assets held by investors outside the country shifts towards gold.
