Today’s market moving events
Precious metals were distinctly downbeat on Monday morning, with gold, silver, platinum and palladium all down, following a rebound in the US dollar (DXY), as well as increased speculation of the US Federal Reserve continuing its aggressive interest rate raising plan.
Gold fell 1.2% to $1,780 per troy ounce this morning, drawing back on the gains of last week, but still boasting a monthly rise of more than 4%.
Silver dropped 2.2% to $20.3 per troy ounce, tracking gold’s footsteps, as the precious metal also suffered due to a stronger US dollar (DXY). However, it has still risen about 9% this month.
Platinum dipped 2.8% to $935 per troy ounce, pulled down by the US Federal Reserve already having raised interest rates 4 times this year so far, with disappointing economic data from China as well. Similarly, palladium also slipped about 2.1% to $2,168 per troy ounce.
Copper dropped 3.1% to $3.5 per pound, following decreasing industrial output from China leading to resurging fears about slowing economic growth and recession. Iron ore also fell from CNY 762 per tonne in the previous trading session to CNY 757 per tonne on Monday morning. Aluminium inched lower 2.2% to $2,381 per tonne.
The US dollar (DXY) jumped from 105.8 in the previous trading session to 106.3 on Monday morning.
