The strength of the US dollar y is triggering a sizeable drop in gold prices. During today’s session bullion has breached the $ 1,780 support and plunged into regions unseen since December 2021. At present, gold is losing more than 2%. Tighter financial conditions across major economies raised fears of a global recession, pushing investors towards the safety of the dollar and prompting a broad decline in commodity prices. Nevertheless, gold has performed relatively well during previous crises, the question remains whether the situation could repeat itself this time as well.
