Gold and Precious Metals Rise as Dollar Rally Fails to Continue

As the U.S. dollar's upward trend began to level out on Thursday, the price of gold and most other precious metals rose.


At 20:56 EST (0057 GMT), the current price of gold was $1,767.41 per ounce, an increase of 0.1 percent. The price of gold futures increased by 0.4% to $1,783.60 per ounce.


Platinum futures gained by 0.1%, while silver futures jumped by 0.6% after falling by 1.0% over the previous two days.


Following a two-day surge, the U.S. dollar dropped, causing precious metals prices to rise. In the past two days, the dollar index has risen around 1 percent, as hawkish comments from two Federal Reserve officials have fueled expectations for more rapid interest rate increases this year.


Mary Daly, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, and Charles Evans, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, both opined that inflation is elevated and that the Federal Reserve will likely increase interest rates further to combat rising prices.


Additionally, a potential improvement in U.S.-China ties fueled demand for the dollar as a safe-haven asset.


The U.S. Dollar Index declined by 0.1 percent during Asian trade on Thursday. Futures for the U.S. Dollar Index fell within a comparable range.


Despite the fact that gold appears to have recovered some ground over the past two weeks, the yellow metal's outlook for this year remains bleak due to the possibility of rising interest rates. As the Federal Reserve continues to tighten monetary policy, it is projected that the prices of the vast majority of other precious metals will also undergo muted fluctuations.


On the industrial metals market, copper futures decreased 0.2% to $3.4710 a pound. Futures for Zinc declined by 0.8% while futures for Nickel climbed marginally.


Copper prices dropped significantly this week as a result of a string of poor manufacturing PMIs from across the world. This pattern of poor manufacturing statistics is projected to weigh on industrial metals in the coming months.
