In global markets, gold rates dropped to the lowest level in four months amid optimism over Covid-19 vaccine developments. US President-elect Joe Biden on Monday was formally given the go-ahead by a federal agency to begin his transition to the White House.
Spot gold was down 0.7% at $1,823.58 per ounce, having earlier slid to its lowest since July 21 at $1,820.45. It slumped as much as 2.2% on Monday. Silver fell 0.9% to $23.37 an ounce. Platinum rose 1.1% to $936.11, while palladium dropped 1% to $2,331.06.
Asian stock markets were mostly higher today as progress in developing an inexpensive coronavirus vaccine boosted hopes of a swift global economic recovery. AstraZeneca on Monday said its COVID-19 vaccine that it has developed in partnership with Oxford University is likely to be cheaper to make, easier to distribute and faster to scale-up than rivals and could be up to 90% effective.
Global risk sentiment was further boosted after news reports, citing sources, said that US President-elect Joe Biden plans to nominate former Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen to become the next Treasury secretary – a move welcomed by traders particularly after incumbent Stephen Mnuchin last week sparked a spat with the central bank over access to virus relief cash.
After hitting a record high of ₹56,200 in August, gold prices have sagged amid vaccine progress and the recent outflow from gold-backed exchange-traded funds.
