Gold prices fall to 2-year lows!

The price of gold has fallen to $1,661.19 as of 22 September and the price of gold has fallen for 6 months in a row. If it falls further below the $1,650.83 mark then this is a fall of over 20% compared to the close of 2020. With the Federal Reserve raising interest rates by 0.75% for the third consecutive time, this has also driven the strong dollar, with the dollar index hitting new 20-year high levels. The strong dollar impact on dollar-denominated commodities, including raw materials, minerals, metals and energy will be under pressure, and market capital may shift from the safe-haven nature of gold to the dollar, with gold prices bearish. The price of gold rose sharply in February, when the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine broke out. Gold prices then began to collapse as the Federal Reserve began to tighten money and curb domestic inflation in the US.

The bank will determine the daily gold buying and selling price based on the international gold price.
