On Monday, the precious metal gold prices were near a two-week high mounted in the past session as doubt prevailed over the influence of the coronavirus disruption on the global economy. Gold is trading sideways around $1,582.08 per ounce, having placed the highest since Feb. 3 at $1,584.65 during the last week.
China advanced to reduce its medium-term lending rate to accommodate the economy against Caronovirus. While the emerging market currencies and stocks began the week on a firm basis as the move is anticipated to ease traders’ concern around the economic thrust from the coronavirus break.
A bullish reversal in the emerging market currencies could put stress on the U.S. Dollar. A weaker U.S. Dollar is suitable for gold rates. It serves to boost foreign trade for the dollar-denominated asset securities.
