Gold rises – Dollar strengthens

bitcoins and u s dollar bills

Investors seek safe haven as fear hovers in the air.

Gold futures were slightly higher by 0.16% at $1,786.90 an ounce at 3:20 a.m. GMT standard time Friday morning.

Expectations of a strong dollar are sending gold prices higher again. The U.S. dollar index was unchanged at $93.55, while investors kept an eye on the Jackson Hole meeting on August 26-28, which will indicate the Fed’s next direction.

The rising number of delta virus cases worldwide and fears of renewed lockdowns are clouding the markets at the moment. This is having a positive effect on the price of gold at the moment.

The U.S. dollar has also received a boost, benefiting at the moment from the upward momentum of the U.S. economy.

Other precious metals.

Silver fell 0.08% to $23.22.

Platinum futures rose 0.45% to $773.90.
