Hello everyone!
Today, the price of gold has dropped to its lowest point in 7 months. This decrease is a result of rising export benefits and inflation in the US, which is leading to expectations of tighter monetary policy.
Gold has been steadily declining since it failed to receive a price increase from $2068 USD and is now trading at $1823. While there have been some signs of recovery, they are not significant.
On the other hand, there has been a strong increase in the US dollar index (DXY) due to data showing an unexpected rise in job opportunities during August. In the previous session, this index experienced a breakthrough from over 105 points to over 106 points. This is significantly higher than the threshold of 100 points set back in mid-July.
Another factor contributing to gold's decline is its close relationship with oil prices, which have also cooled down recently.
