Gold re-takes 6-week highs ahead of Trump new conference
|Gold regains poise and heads back towards multi-week highs on increased flight to safety demand ahead of Trump’s first news conference after the elections and just a week before he takes office as the 45th US president.
Gold: $ 1200 mark still on sight
Currently, gold trades +0.18% higher at $ 1188.15, recovering steadily from a dip to $ 1180 levels. The demand for gold resurfaces in the Asian hours this Wednesday as investors turn cautious and prefer to park their funds in the ultimate safe-have asset heading into the Trump presser, which may provide fresh insights on Trump’s spending plans.
Moreover, a generalized weakness seen in the greenback combined with a retreat in the Asian stocks, also add to the renewed upside in the yellow metal.
Meanwhile, the World Bank said on Tuesday that global growth would accelerate slightly as recovering oil and commodity prices, which hurt the sentiment around gold somewhat, knocking-off prices sharply from multi-week lows.
