The Federal Reserve has injected massive liquidity into the economy to counter the coronavirus-induced economic slowdown.
The massive liquidity injections have strengthened gold's long-term bull case. The scarce asset rose to a record high of $2,075 in August and was last seen changing hands near $1,847 per ounce.
