Gold hit a record high on Wednesday, boosted by a softer U.S. dollar and hopes of more interest rate cuts, while investors looked for new signals for the Federal Reserve's interest rate trajectory.
Spot gold was steady at $2,658.08 per ounce, as of 0557 GMT, after hitting an all-time high of $2,670.43 earlier.
U.S. gold futures gained 0.2% to $2,682.10.
The dollar eased 0.2%, making greenback-priced bullion less expensive for other currency holders.
On Tuesday, China announced a slew of support measures including outsized rate cuts, after the U.S. Fed cut rates by 50 basis points last week. Market participants see about 60% chance of another 50 bps cut in November.
