1224黄金点评：黄金短线波动加剧，盘中突破4500关口

Core Viewpoint - The precious metals market continues to show strength, with gold prices surpassing $4500 per ounce, driven by strong economic data and ongoing interest in rate cuts from the U.S. President [2][6]. Economic Data - The U.S. GDP for Q3 grew significantly by 4.3%, marking the fastest growth in two years, primarily due to robust consumer spending [2][6]. - The PCE price index for the U.S. showed a year-on-year quarterly increase of 2.9%, aligning with expectations but higher than the previous value of 2.6%, which may suppress future rate cut expectations from the Federal Reserve [2][6]. Market Reactions - Following the strong GDP data, there was a temporary weakening in precious metals, but the market quickly recovered, with gold, silver, and copper all showing strength [2][6]. - The U.S. President has reiterated the desire for the next Federal Reserve Chair to consider rate cuts when the economy and markets are performing well, rather than preemptively acting due to inflation concerns [2][6]. Investment Implications - Given the resilient economic performance and potential for continued monetary easing from the Federal Reserve, alongside fluctuating geopolitical conditions, gold remains a significant asset allocation option [2][6].
