The movement in the positive area of the stock market caused the price of gold to fall. Nevertheless, the gold price remains near the $1,800 mark as the global signals such as the Omicron variant and the rising inflation resulting in negative real interest rates have not changed.
According to the U.S. CDC, the omicron is now the predominant strain in the United States, accounting for 73% of total COVID-19 cases. The United States ranks first worldwide in both the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases and the number of deaths, with more than 52 million infections and more than 828,000 deaths.
The Danish Ministry of Health announced today that the Covid 19 virus Omicron is now the predominant variant in Denmark.
