What’s moving gold today

Bond yields

Bank deposits and metal compete for the same savings, and the rate on offer decides which one wins.

US dollar

Almost all cross-border trade is settled in dollars, which is why the quote arrives in that currency wherever it goes.

Fed & interest rates

Kathmandu keeps a clock fifteen minutes off its neighbours, and an American rate decision lands here well after midnight either way.

Safe-haven demand

Bars and coins held at home are the oldest form of insurance in the region, and demand for them rises when confidence falls.

Inflation / CPI

Imported metal carries an imported price, and the argument that sets it is made in American data.

What traders say about trading gold with Exness:

★★★★★
es genial, los retiros llegan en un minuto, en los últimos días la interfaz o el sistema está dando error al abrir operaciones en el xausd uno o dos minutos antes de la pausa diaria, espero que puedan mejorarlo porque anteriormente sí se ejecutaba rápido las operaciones, gracias
