On Thursday, the yellow metal has been done in by the key US bank, as anticipated.
March meeting minutes from the Fed suggesting the US major financial institution hasn’t completely excluded lifting interest rates in 2019 sent the yellow metal and futures down beneath the major $1,300 mark on Thursday. The given level appears to be crucial to the confidence of those who hold long positions on gold.
As a matter of fact, spot gold decreased by 1.3% ending up with $1,291.41 an ounce.
