Gold Revisits $1,781 Support – A Good Buy Opportunity
Gold prices were closed at $1788.45 after placing a high of $1801.50 and a low of $1783.35. Gold reversed its course for another day

[[Gold ]] prices closed at $1,788.45, after placing a high of $1,801.50 and a low of $1,783.35. Gold reversed its course again day on Monday, dropping, due to the strength of the US dollar. The US dollar was seeing inflows, thanks to its safe-haven status, amid the prevailing uncertainty in the market regarding whether this new variant is more dangerous than the Delta variant.
This news gained much traction, and investors started reacting positively, which triggered a sell-off in safe-haven metals. The market reacted by assuming that the variant would not be a major issue, which put additional pressure on precious metals, resulting in a drop in gold on Monday.
The US dollar was strong across the market, as it continued its bullish momentum for the second consecutive session on Monday, reaching levels around 96.44. The US Treasury yield, on a 10-year note, continued its bearish trend, falling for the fifth consecutive session, to 1.49%.
Furthermore, the US dollar was also gathering strength, following Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic’s statement that he remains open to accelerating the pace of bond tapering by the central bank. With the increased fears and concerns about the spread of the Omicron variant, the prevailing expectations of a rate hike eased somewhat in the market. These recent comments by Bostic boosted the US dollar and dragged the gold prices further to the downside on Monday.
