Gold extends record rally on Fed rate-cut bets, softer dollar




Gold prices notched up an all-time high on Wednesday, as growing optimism for an interest-rate cut from the U.S. Federal Reserve in September and a weaker dollar boosted demand.

Spot gold dropped about 0.6% to $2,454.98 per ounce by 1748 GMT due to profit-taking after hitting an all-time high of $2,483.60 earlier in the session.
