28 October 2020 - 08:20Bengaluru — Gold prices were little changed on Wednesday, staying above the $1,900-mark, as uncertainty about US elections and surging global Covid-19 cases countered pressure from a firmer dollar and the fading hope of an immediate US stimulus package.“Investors need a reason to buy more gold and the reason to buy gold will come from a policy signal,” said Stephen Innes, chief global market strategist at Axi.
The pandemic has prompted unprecedented money printing and low-interest rates globally, putting gold on track for its best year in a decade given its appeal as a hedge against inflation and currency debasement. Meanwhile, markets were disappointed after US President Donald Trump acknowledged that a coronavirus economic relief deal was likely to come after the November 3 election. The dollar index was up 0.2% against rivals, with the US elections’ uncertainty adding to the “risk-off” tone.
Worry about the virus’s spread continued, with the US, Russia, France and other countries seeing record new infections recently. European governments introduced new curbs to rein the fresh outbreaks. On the technical front, spot gold may test a support at $1,887, as the bounce triggered by this support is ending around a resistance at $1,912, according to Reuters technical analyst Wang Tao.Reuters
