Gold price ease today after the precious metal yesterday hit the highest level since September of 2011 on fears of a second coronavirus wave. This week reported a record number of new coronavirus infections in the USA while Australia is considering the full lockdown for four weeks in the state of Victoria.
Federal Reserve MPC members warned that the economic situation might prove worse than expectations and the recovery would be a bumpy process, and reiterated that the economy might need more stimulus in the upcoming months.
The last weeks we can see a correlation between risky assets such as stocks and gold. Looking at the daily charts when the shares trade higher gold is also trading higher, and some analysts believe that the excess liquidity is even buying gold despite the defensive profile of the precious metal. Gols is also attracting bids on the down days for equities as see gold as a safe haven asset meaning that gold is getting bids regardless of what is the sentiment in the markets and that might be the reason why gold is at nine-year highs.
