With Record Covid-19 Infections Gold Edges Higher

    Article Overview

    According to Bloomberg News, gold was seen edging higher as the investors assessed the global economic recovery resilience, as Covid-19 infections are touching a record pandemic high. 

    COVID infections across the globe that was seen to exceed 1.44 million Monday broke the earlier record following a factorial blip last year in Turkey. As Omicron, which is a highly transmissible variant, is spreading its tentacles quite rapidly worldwide, it is suggestive that although highly transmissible, it is not leading to severe illness. 

    Over the last three years of bullion, the first annual loss is impending as central banks are starting to dial back stimulus for containing inflation. The S&P 500 reached the 69th record closing of 2021 Monday, implying that the investors will remain relatively aware and confident about the new variant of omicron’s risk

    Bloomberg News reports that the United Kingdom will not introduce stringent limitations related to Covid-19 in England before the New Year ends despite the increase in Covid-19 cases. The United States will reduce the isolation time recommended for Americans with the virus to five days from 10 days. 

    According to Madhavi Mehta, working with Kotak Securities Ltd as a senior analyst, gold is range-bound with a figure recording at $1,180 per ounce, indicating the relative stability in the United States dollar index and yield from bonds amidst an absence of fresh triggers. She also stated that concerns related to the virus have declined. However, with new Omicron cases rising and restrictions being imposed, it remains a cause of the problem. 

    Bloomberg News also reports that Spot gold revealed an advance of 0.2% to $1,816.20 per ounce at 1.16 PM London, registering again for the fifth day. Bullion continues to be down by more than 4% annually in the current year. It was also seen that the Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index dropped by 0.1%, while platinum and silver edged higher up, with palladium registering no change. 

    Bloomberg News reports that as per chief executive officer, Singapore Precious Metals Exchange, Victor Foo, this sideways trend will continue to rule in the range between $1,750 and $1,820. 

    Gold will, however, experience resistance beyond $1,815 and, moving ahead, will be seen to continue its struggle at similar levels unless the dollar moves lower. Copper futures are concerned for March, and it rose 0.3% on Comex following a close at a 2-month high Monday.
