Zero or negative interest from central banks make the precious metal more attractive, despite its lack of yield. Moreover, massive Quantitative Easing programs – printing money – has also increased speculation around XAU/USD.
The acceleration in US coronavirus cases implies further support from the Federal Reserve. Tensions between the US and China around Hong Kong also imply further safe-haven flows into the yellow metal.
The high so far has been $1,800.39 and gold edged lower after the initial move higher. It remains bid. Stop-loss orders may have been triggered after the initial break.
