Gold Ticks Up as Dollar Loses Steam

The start of this week saw prices for gold futures increase as safe haven demand by investors, particularly from China, grows. The price of silver also increased, with a weaker dollar index favoring the precious metals markets. May silver prices rose to $32.37 while June gold prices hit $3324.60. An analyst from Saxo Bank argues that gold’s strong retail demand from consumers in China is keeping the precious metal afloat, despite Western speculators’ increased selling.
