Global investors turned to riskier assets after the minutes of the last meeting of the US Federal Reserve Board indicated continued policy support and strengthened hopes for a quick economic recovery.
“If we continue to strengthen our economic reports, I think we will see a much greater likelihood of higher interest rates … higher yields. This will ultimately have a negative impact on gold, ”said Jeffrey Sica, founder of Circle Squared Alternative Investments.
