Global prices rise
Gold prices rose, yesterday, Thursday, supported by the decline in the dollar, as investors bet that the disappointing US jobs data and the increase in Covid-19 cases around the world are pushing the authorities to announce more stimulus measures.
Spot gold rose 0.2% to $ 1809.61 an ounce. US gold futures rose 0.1% to $ 1807.80.
“We noticed an improvement in risk appetite due to the optimism about the vaccine, and this was from the headwinds of gold,” said Harshall Barrott, South Asia research consultant at Metal Fox.
“But with the continued decline of the dollar, gold prices find a kind of support,” he added.
The dollar index fell 0.1% Thursday, which reinforces the appeal of gold to holders of other currencies.
Gold is seen as a hedge against inflation that is likely to result from massive stimulus measures.
Among the other precious metals, silver rose 0.3% to $ 23.38 an ounce. Platinum rose 0.4% to $ 967.15 and palladium profit 1.2%, to $ 2,368.68.
