Silver prices rallied the most reporting gains of more than 8 percent for the week followed by Zinc, gold and crude oil.

The greenback fell to 92.23 shedding nearly 2 percent for the week against the major currencies.

Bullion prices rallied on the uncertainty of US presidential elections which has led to public protest in some parts of the US. COMEX spot gold prices gained by nearly 4 percent to $1,951 an ounce crossing a key hurdle at $1940 for the week, reporting the highest weekly run since July 2020.

Gold Getting Whacked As US Yields Rise On Vaccine News

The dollar isn’t faring too badly and is actually a little up on the day despite having widely been adopted as a safe haven asset. This is very much not a risk-averse day but it seems it’s the yen that’s taking the brunt of the hit, while risk currencies are doing very well.

Interestingly, gold is getting whacked in the wake of the vaccine news. US rates are rising on the back of the announcement and that’s bad news for the yellow metal which has fallen as low as USD1,900, having traded above USD1,950 ahead of the release. Investors now clearly betting on a stronger economic recovery and everything that comes with it.

Perhaps we’re now seeing a bit of a reset moment for gold, where its correlation with risk assets starts to fade and it returns to its traditional […]

Editor’s Note: Get caught up in minutes with our speedy summary of today’s must-read news stories and expert opinions that moved the precious metals and financial markets. Sign up here! (Kitco News) Silver tumbled more than 7% on Monday as precious metals sold off in response to positive coronavirus vaccine news, which investors interpreted as good for the economy.

"The initial reaction was that stimulus may not be necessary," RJO Futures senior commodities broker Daniel Pavilonis told Kitco News. "With a vaccine, we have a way to change the dynamic of the way everybody is living post-COVID. Maybe everyone can go back to work, or maybe there is less economic risk. Maybe pent-up purchasing picks up."

Monday’s price action has seen an unwind of the pandemic-era trades, said TD Securities commodity strategist Daniel Ghali.

"Vaccine is seen as opening the door to other assets that haven’t performed as well during the pandemic. […]

PALM BEACH, Fla., Nov. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — During periods of crisis, gold has proven to be a time-honored safe-haven asset. Scarcity and built-in utility have made the yellow metal a sought after commodity throughout recorded human history. Whether in physical or paper form, gold bullion is the world’s go to financial hedge against uncertainty. The global gold market is likely to be affected by the fluctuating supply of mined gold as the global gold production is a mix of scrap recovery, central bank supply, and mined gold. More than half of the global gold supply comes from mined gold. In 2019 the U.S. produced 200 tons (6.4 million troy ounces) of gold (down from 210 tons in 2018), worth about US$8.9 billion, and 6.1% of world production, making the U.S. the fourth-largest gold-producing nation, behind China, Australia and Russia. Most gold produced today in the US comes from […]

Gold gets hammered as coronavirus vaccine talk brightens Gold futures on Monday were on pace for their steepest daily drop in three months, as a positive report on a vaccine candidate sent the dollar and government bond yields higher, pressuring bullion.

Pfizer and BioNTech on Monday said their COVID-19 vaccine candidate was 90% effective at preventing COVID-19, derived from the novel strain of coronavirus.

“Interestingly, gold is getting whacked in the wake of the vaccine news. U.S. rates are rising on the back of the announcement and that’s bad news for the yellow metal which has fallen as low as $1,900, having traded above $1,950 ahead of the release,” wrote Craig Erlam, senior market analyst at Oanda in a Monday note.

( Kitco News ) – See on the daily bar chart for December Comex gold futures that Monday’s big losses have pushed the yellow metal back into the bottom portion of the recent sideways trading range – after prices hit a seven-week high overnight. Importantly, no significant chart damage has been inflicted on the daily or the longer-term charts. However, bulls need to defend strong technical support at the September low of $1,851.00. A drop below that price level would inflicted serious near-term chart damage to suggest a new leg down in prices.

Here’s a postulation for the gold market bulls to ponder: This vaccine news is short-term negative for gold, no doubt. However, could it be that […]

( Kitco News ) – In what has been a wild morning, gold prices are down nearly $100 Monday but so far, holding critical support levels after Pfizer and BioNTech announced a potential vaccine for the COVID-19 virus.

However, some analysts are warning that the selling pressure appears to be overdone as there is plenty of uncertainty and liquidity in the marketplace to support the precious metal. December gold futures last traded at $1,855.60 an ounce, down 5% on the day.

Robin Bhar, an independent commodity analyst, said that while the latest headlines are negative for gold, there is still a lot of investors who don ’t know about the potential vaccine. He added that investors should wait for […]

This drove down demand for dollar-denominated gold. Earlier in the session, gold edged higher amid a weaker dollar and hopes for more stimulus following Joe Biden’s victory in the U.S. elections.

getty I’ve been getting a bunch of spam in my inbox recently telling me in panicked tones that the world as we know it is on the verge of ending and the only solution is to invest in gold. Touting its great returns, risk hedge capabilities and inflation protection for my portfolio, these missives implore me that if I want to preserve any semblance of wealth after the upcoming apocalypse, I must sell [ enter the asset class of your choice here ] and put that money to work in gold. Today. Now. Immediately.

Whenever the markets and world affairs are in turmoil—war, plague, political strife, social unrest—the gold-bugs emerge from their cocoons as predictably as cicadas do in the spring and making about as much noise. Maybe more.

It’s tempting. After all, who doesn’t seek some emotional stability and comfort during a crisis? For centuries, people have turned to gold […]

A COVID-19 vaccine seems closer after Pfizer announced that its immunization candidate is 90% effective after its 43,500-strong Phase 3 trial. Hopes of a quick solution for the coronavirus pandemic is sending markets higher.

The implication for gold is that the chances of additional vast fiscal and monetary stimulus are diminishing. The US Congress was debating a relief package and the precious metal was moving in response to every twist and turn in the talks.

The levels to watch are $1,880, $1,860, $,850 on the downside, and $1,930, $1965, and $1,972 on the upside. The Relative Strength Index has been flirting with overbought conditions ahead of Pfizer’s announcement and is now falling toward 30, oversold conditions.
