Gold maintains positive trend amid partial agreement on US stimulus package

This image is no longer relevant

The price of gold demonstrates positive dynamics Thursday morning in light of a partial agreement by the US government on the fiscal stimulus in the country. Meanwhile, market participants have shifted their attention to the unemployment claims report for the week from the US Department of Labor.

The price of gold increased by 0.23%, which allowed it to move to the level of $1,891. 61 per troy ounce. Support for the precious metal was in the area of $1,877. 1 per troy ounce and resistance went to the level of $1,927 per troy ounce.

An early solution to the problem of the financial stimulus in the US, as well as a possible victory for Joe Biden, who, according to the latest data, is leading the race for the presidency, give gold the proper level of support. The market attributes the acceleration of inflationary risks to the leadership of Trump's main rival. And the safe haven of precious metals becomes constant protection for investors.

Meanwhile, there was some excitement on the US stock markets against the background of Trump's appeal to the government to quickly adopt the necessary agreements to start incentive payments to citizens of the country.

However, further dynamics in the precious metal market will still depend on the data on the number of new unemployment claims in the US. Experts suggest that the number of applications should be reduced, but numerous external factors suggest the opposite. Nevertheless, about 10 million American citizens have already received this payment.

The price of silver moved up by 0.66% which left the current price is $ 24 per troy ounce.

Palladium also went up by 0.19%, which allowed it to move to the area of $ 2,354.83 per ounce.

Platinum slightly rose 0.04% leaving the price at the level of $ 864.46 per ounce.

Copper futures for December delivery fell 0.25% allowing the price to drop at $3.0223 per pound.
