Gold prices fell in Saudi Arabia today, Saturday, due to a major collapse in the global price of the yellow metal.

The price of an ounce and a pound of gold

Global price collapse
Globally, gold prices tumbled on Friday, by 2%, approaching the lowest level in 5 months, depositing the “important level”.
Gold fell below the important technical level at $ 1,800 an ounce, which sparked a major selling wave.
“Once the prices fell below the important $ 1,800 level, that kindled a spark for selling,” said Craig Erlam, an analyst at Oanda.
And he continued, “It is likely that the price will test the level of $ 1750 in light of a strong fundamental factor such as the vaccine.”
Investors are selling the metal in anticipation of a vaccine to prevent the virus and a smooth transition to the US presidency.
By 1529 GMT, the spot price of gold was down 1.6% to $ 1781.96 an ounce.
This came after gold fell earlier to its lowest level since the sixth of July at $ 1773.10 an ounce.
The metal has lost about 4.7% since the beginning of this week, its biggest weekly loss since the week of March 13th.
