[Gold Prices May Face Further Pressure This Year, Capital Economics Highlights Two Reasons] Deep Tide TechFlow reports that on October 17, Capital Economics' climate and commodities economist Hamad Hussain predicted on October 16 that gold prices may gradually decline during the remainder of this year. He listed two reasons: the Federal Reserve's continued interest rate hikes and concerns that the artificial intelligence boom may ultimately prove to be a temporary phenomenon.
