Investors turned to risky assets, causing gold prices to fall
Gold prices fell on Tuesday, and investors turned to higher-risk assets because they expected a rapid economic recovery. At the same time, they were waiting for the outcome of the Federal Reserve Board (Federal Reserve/FED) meeting. During the Asian session, gold prices were basically flat at US$1,732.32 per ounce. US gold futures GCv1 fell 0.05% to US$1,728.20 per ounce. With the acceleration of US vaccination and the benefit of the US$1.9 trillion relief plan to American families, Fed officials this week may predict that the US economic growth rate in 2021 will be the fastest in decades, while the unemployment rate will fall and the inflation rate will rise. It is expected that the price of gold will remain at the level of 1,760 within this week.
