Gold has led the rally for precious metals after attaining an all-time high of $2,052.70 and consolidating the high position. The rally by the precious metal has been triggered by several factors like the fiscal and monetary stimulus.
There are growing expectations that both sides of the political divide in the US will soon reach a deal regarding the Fiscal stimulus. The development has boosted both precious metals prices, stocks, and bonds.
Furthermore, the new high position correlates with a plunge in the global bond yield. Currently, the return on ten-year US Treasuries is almost hitting March lows at 0.50%. Elsewhere, Silver is also surging with XAG/USD pair standing at $26.
Confidence in the markets has been boosted by the coming trade negotiations between the global leading economies. After days of clashing, the powers appear to be going for a resolution, a positive indicator for the markets.
