Gold resumes advance
|Gold resumed the rise on Wednesday underpinned by dollar weakness and lingering uncertainty surrounding the Brexit. The yellow metal closed the day around $1,325.00 an ounce, around 1% higher on the day.
Further supporting the metal were comments from Fed's Powell, who stated that global headwinds increased, but is too early to assess the impact of the UK referendum in the US economy. However, speculative interest is considering the US Central Bank won't be able to raise rates in this scenario, until late 2017.
