Gold is underpinned by wavering US currency
On Monday, gold managed to surge due to the fact market participants questioned the greenback jump’s near-term durability. Eventually, the evergreen buck’s weakness appears to be a boost for the most popular yellow metal, traditionally denominated in the American dollars.
December delivery gold futures GCZ8 gained 0.2% coming up with $1,202.90 an ounce. The previous week the yellow metal reported a narrow win after prices had faced weekly dips over the previous two weeks.
