Having settled last week just above the $1900 mark, Gold (XAU/USD) kicked-off the Fed week with a bang, hitting a fresh life-time high at $1944.76. Stops got likely triggered on a break above the previous record high of $1921.14, which called for a quick $25 rally. The traditional safe-haven extends its one-week-long rally, mainly underpinned by the US-China escalation over the consular closures and coronavirus resurgence in the US. The continued rise in the virus spread across the US weighs on the economic recovery prospects keep the US dollar under pressure. Meanwhile, concerns over the impending US stimulus package also dent the sentiment around the greenback.
From a broader perspective, gold continues to benefit from the aggressive monetary easing adopted by global central banks to tackle the virus impact. The US Treasury yields tumble amid an unprecedented level of money-printing, making the non-yielding gold more attractive.
Looking ahead, the bright metal is expected to take cues from the sentiment on the global stocks and US dollar price-action ahead of fresh virus stats and Durable Good Orders release due out from the US. Also, the US stimulus progress will be closely followed ahead of the US Federal Reserve (Fed) monetary policy decision due later on Wednesday.
