Gold prices surged in the first session of the week after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell delivered a historic speech at the Jackson Hole conference, marking a reversal in US monetary policy.
Accordingly, Mr. Jerome Powell signaled that "it is time to adjust policy", reducing interest rates to support the economy.
According to Mr. Powell, inflation has gradually decreased closer to the 2% target, while expressing concerns about the US labor market.
The USD immediately fell sharply, thereby pushing gold prices up.
