During Monday’s Asian session, the safe haven metal prices edged slightly up mainly due to continuous economic stimulus in order to control the COVID-19 pandemic’s economic woes. Earlier in the day, GOLD prices registered 0.30% losses. Whereas, the yellow metal prices remain under pressure due to the lack of major catalysts in the day ahead. As of writing, gold is currently trading at 1,732.15 and consolidating in the range between 1,731.50 and 1,745.75.
Gold futures are trading bearish now around 1,720 as we mentioned that the yellow metal’s previous session witnessed declines, because investors slowly lost their positions in the yellow metal mainly as the Asian stocks’ recorded gains. However, US President Donald Trump got criticized for the idea to use disinfectant injections as a trial for the virus treatment. Besides this, the Republican leader’s suggestions about opening the economy sooner than later keep the market calm.
As per the latest report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the US death toll due to the virus rose to 52,459 against the previous day’s 50,439 while the cases surged to 928,619 against 895,766 at 4:00 PM on April 25.
