Dollar schwächelt, Aktien tauchen ab – Gold erreicht Rekordhöhen

Während der Dollar an Wert verliert und die Aktienmärkte nachgeben, erklimmt Gold historische Spitzenwerte – klassische Safe-Haven-Dynamik in unsicheren Zeiten.

Makro-Turbulenzen treiben Anleger in den Edelmetall-Hafen

Der Greenback zeigt Ermüdungserscheinungen, Equity-Märkte korrigieren spürbar. Gold profitiert als traditioneller Werterhalter – steigt auf nie dagewesene Niveaus. Die Flucht in tangible Assets beschleunigt sich, während Papieranlagen unter Druck geraten.

Typisch: Die großen Player hedgen ihre Bets mal wieder mit dem altbewährten Metall, anstatt in innovative Assets zu diversifizieren. Gold glänzt halt doch immer, wenn die Konjunktur-Sonne nicht scheint.

Dollar struggles to recover from earlier slide

After Tuesday’s steep slide, the dollar only edged back. The dollar index, which measures the currency against major peers, rose 0.1% to 96.689, recouping a sliver of the prior day’s 0.7% fall that had marked the lowest since early July.

The euro dipped 0.1% to $1.1857 after hitting $1.1867 on Tuesday, the strongest since September 2021. The dollar held at 146.52 yen, barely changed after a 0.6% drop the previous day.

“If the (Fed) chair is more dovish than expected, of course, you WOULD expect that to weigh on the dollar, but really, how much more bearish can you get from here?” said Mahjabeen Zaman, head of foreign exchange research at ANZ, on a podcast. “We’ve already got more than five cuts priced in for the cycle.”

In Washington, Stephen Miran took the oath on Tuesday morning after a narrow Senate confirmation to the Fed’s Board of Governors. In a separate case, a U.S. appeals court refused to let President Donald TRUMP remove Governor Lisa Cook.

Gold prices stay strong as investors seek safety

The Bank of Canada is also expected to cut rates on Wednesday as the labor market softens and trade frictions persist. New figures from Japan showed exports down for a fourth straight month in August, as reported earlier by Cryptopolitan. It highligted the drag from broad tariffs put in place by the Trump administration.

Oil eased but stayed supported. Brent fell 14 cents, or 0.2%, to $68.33 a barrel by 0405 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate slipped 13 cents, or 0.2%, to $64.39.

Supply worries persisted after Transneft, Russia’s pipeline operator, warned producers they might have to cut output following recent drone strikes on key facilities, three industry sources said.
