During the Asian session, gold rose to as high as $1,866 an ounce, a level not seen since 2011, as recent agreement among EU leaders on a massive coronavirus recovery package put pressure on the US dollar. Gold prices increased over 25% from March’s lows. Meantime silver managed to break above the $22 for the first time since October of 2013. Ultra-low interest rates and unprecedented fiscal stimulus from governments and central banks around the world together with inflation concerns lifted the price of precious metals.
