The price of gold is expected to break through the market. The key data of the United States are expected tonight, and the price of gold is basically flat on Wednesday. The market expects the key inflation data of the United States, which may affect the general expectation of interest rate cuts and provide more clues for the outlook in 2025. Rhona O‘Connell, an analyst at StoneX, said that the market is concerned about the upcoming inflation data and will pay attention to President Powell's post-meeting comments next week for further policy insights. O' Connell added that the price of gold was once stagnant but showing signs of recovery. The recent rebound was driven by geopolitical risks, and the price of gold reached the upper limit of the range, but did not break through the high point. Kyle Rodda, a financial market analyst in Capital.com, said: "The expected data almost gives the Fed a green light to cut interest rates next week, which may be a gold price catalyst." Goldman Sachs said that the main downside risk of predicting that gold will be $3,000 per ounce by the end of 2025 is that the Fed will cut interest rates, not that the dollar will strengthen. Goldman Sachs predicts: "If the Fed cuts interest rates again, the price of gold will rise to $2,890 per ounce."Syrian armed opposition leader Golani: We will not pardon those who participated in the torture and killing of detainees.

However, the domestic market has long relied on imports for this key raw material, and the production cost remains high, which seriously restricts the competitiveness of our oral care products in the international market.
