S & P 500 falls, showing slowdown in manufacturing and job markets
Due to the spread of the epidemic on Wednesday, the S & P 500 recorded the biggest decline in two weeks. At the same time, US data showed that the manufacturing and job markets continued to slow down, which caused gold buying to rebound and gold hit the $ 1600 mark. However, it should be noted that the cost of obtaining US dollars in the market is still very high, highlighting that the liquidity demand of the US dollar is still strong. Pushing the US dollar to test the 100 mark repeatedly in recent trading days will continue to suppress the price of gold for a period of time. Concerned about the number of initial jobless claims, the market is expected to continue to break record highs.
