The number one precious commodity was also suppressed by the Fed’s worries as for the trade conflict, as follows from last policy meeting’s minutes in June.
The vast majority of Fed policymakers stressed that uncertainty along with risks having to do with trade policy had soared and they were also concerned that such risks and uncertainty eventually could have adverse effects.
At the same time, the evergreen buck turned out to be lower. The number one precious metal usually goes up as the greenback dips. It’s because the most popular precious commodity is denominated in the American currency. Therefore, it’s very sensitive to any ups and downs in the value of the greenback.
The USD index, gauging the greenback’s purchasing potential versus a group of six key currencies, headed south by up to 0.14% being worth 94.00.
