CommentGold had a similar move to the EURUSD pair, it thrives whenever the dollar is weak and given the fact that the stimulus care package weakens the value of the dollar (more money in the hands of citizens caused by oversupply of the dollar), any positive update on the stimulus talks weakens gold, and any negative update on the stimulus strengthens the commodity. Late last night, it was recorded that trump accused the democrats of being unwilling to come to an agreement , this in turn weakened Gold. However, we could also see this move as a pullback for better buy entries on the commodity, seeing that investors are much more confident investing their money in Gold.
