Gold tacks on in Asia as diving greenback drives buying sentiment
On Tuesday, gold rallied in Asia because financial markets neglected signs of tighter monetary policies ahead for the BOJ and ECB and took advantage of a diving greenback to purchase the US dollar- -denominated commodity.
Gold futures ascended 0.47% demonstrating an outcome of $1,341.20 a troy ounce following Monday’s no floor trading on the exchange due to the Martin Luther King Day holiday. Apparently, all electronic transactions are going to be booked with trades for settlement on Tuesday.
Overnight, the number one precious metal was still backed at four-month maximums because demand for the American currency kept going down.

By the way, gold happens to be very sensitive to moves in the US currency.
