Dollar stopped, gold breathed

The stagnation of the dollar's rise on Tuesday provided some relief for the noninterest-bearing precious metal.

Spot gold hit the level of $ 1,638 an ounce.

While gold has traditionally been seen as a safe-haven, global recession concerns caused by monetary tightening by central banks have triggered huge gains in the dollar instead of the precious metal.

It is evaluated that the decline in other major currencies, including the pound and yen, may continue to put pressure on commodities priced in dollars.

Energy and raw materials markets were also hit, with the Bloomberg Spot Commodity Index, a critical indicator, falling to its lowest level since February.

“Attention is still on the strengthening of the dollar and this may continue to put pressure on the precious metal,” said Commtrendz Risk Management Services Director, Gnanasekar Thiagarajan. “Further rate hikes to rein in inflation reduce the safe-haven property of gold, causing confidence to turn negative,” said Gnanasekar Thiagarajan, in the coming weeks. He added that he expects it to decline to $ 1,550 levels.

The market may face a new surge after the release of US inflation data this week and the speeches of Fed officials such as Fed Vice Chairman Lael Brainard and New York Fed President John Williams.

Spot gold, which generally has a negative correlation with the dollar and interest rates, entered the bear market by falling 20 percent after the record levels it saw in 2020.
