For those interested in the global picture, international gold rates were $1,989 at 4:25 PM (Pakistan Standard Time). This is a 0.16 percent gain over the previous day.
Money seems to be moving away from gold and the US dollar and into more hazardous alternatives. Global stock markets have had mixed results, while bonds have surged. Meanwhile, the US dollar has been falling.
This is all related to the current slowdown in interest rate rises in the United States. Investors seem to be expecting the Federal Reserve to retain current interest rates in December.
In layman’s words, it’s similar to a financial seesaw. When the value of gold rises, the value of the US dollar falls, and vice versa.
