Gold is weakening in the international market
Gold fell from a high of more than a month in the last session as a stronger US dollar and an increased appetite for riskier assets weighed on sentiment.
Spot gold fell 0.3% to $ 1,800.02 an ounce while U.S. gold futures fell 0.6% to $ 1,800.
“The main market driver is the decline in the euro dollar … the dollar is getting stronger and that’s not the best thing for gold,” said Carlo Alberto De Casa, market analyst at Kinesis.
Despite the surge in Omicron cases, investors are waiting to see if the US Federal Reserve will hike rates three times in the coming year, De Casa said, adding that central bank policies will continue to be a market driver in 2022.
Higher interest rates increase bond yields, making unprofitable precious metals less attractive.
