Gold Prices Drop Amid Strong Dollar Surge
Updated
Global gold prices have seen a sharp decline, with spot gold dropping by $24.7 to $2,597.9 per ounce, marking the lowest level in nearly two months.
This downward trend reflects the pressure from a robust recovery of the US dollar, as the US Dollar Index has climbed to its highest level in four months. This strength in the dollar makes gold more expensive for buyers holding other currencies.
In my view, the strengthening USD is a primary factor putting pressure on gold prices, especially as the inverse relationship between gold and the dollar has re-emerged strongly following the US presidential election. Potential policies from President-elect Donald Trump could benefit the USD, with US interest rates likely remaining high for an extended period—a scenario that is generally unfavorable for gold.
