Gold headed for its biggest close in seven weeks after President Donald Trump signed a $ 900 billion coronavirus stimulus package, pumping more state funds into the world’s top economy. Silver has grown.
Paradise relied on a series of four weekly gains after the package was unveiled, which Trump initially refused to support amid a dispute over the size of controls to support households in the context of the pandemic. The dollar relaxed.
Bullion is set to record its first monthly gain in July after a series of losses caused by the development of effective coronavirus vaccines. Over 2020 as a whole, gold has benefited from a steady weakening of the US currency since it peaked in March, as well as an unprecedented fiscal and monetary stimulus.
Spot gold rose 0.7% to $ 1,896.70 an ounce, and traded at $ 1,894.02 at 9:25 in Singapore. This would be the biggest closure since November 6. Silver for immediate delivery rose 3.6% to $ 26.7601 per ounce. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot index fell by up to 0.2%.
The aid package is likely to be the last major piece of legislation signed by Trump, whose hopes of re-election have been shattered largely by pandemic management. President-elect Joe Biden has said he will work to stimulate even more after taking office early next year.
