Gold looks to risk trends, pandemic
The negative price action in the yellow metal comes despite the softer tone in the greenback and amidst the almost-constant bias among investors towards the riskier assets.
Further out, Gold now appears somewhat decoupled from the recent move up in tandem with the riskier assets, which was mainly sustained by the declining opportunity costs of holding the metal in a context dominated by negative real interest rates.
However, the commodity is expected to remain vigilant on bouts of risk aversion exclusively in response to the advance of the pandemic and its impact on the economy as well as geopolitical/trade jitters from the US-China scenario.
Later in the session, investors will look to the release of US inflation figures measured by the CPI for the month of June.
