gold.png

After witnessing a volatile trading session yesterday, the bullion is trading higher in the Asian trading hours on Friday on the back of rising virus cases worldwide. The Covid-19 cases surging past the worrisome 102 million levels across the globe is supporting the gold prices. As of now, the precious metal is trading higher by 0.12% at the level of $1844.89 an ounce.
Meanwhile, the investors are awaiting any headlines related to the US economic relief bill of $1.9 trillion to aid the economic imbalance.
On Thursday, the yellow metal initially tested an intra-day low of 1834 level owing to the developments over the vaccination front. The Novavax vaccine was found to be 89% effective against Covid-19 in the United Kingdom. However, the downbeat US GDP data at 4%, lower than the forecast of 4.2% created sell-off in the greenback. Thus, the dollar-denominated gold touched an intra-day high of 1865 level but erased all its gains amid risk-on mood amongst the investors. Consequently, the bullion settled at the level of $1842.20 per ounce, with a marginal decline of 0.07%.
Going forward, the investors would remain watchful over the US Core Price index, Employment Cost, Personal Income, Chicago PMI and Inflation expectations data to decide the future trajectory of gold prices.
