Ongoing Events

Although met with a great deal of skepticism, Russia’s claim of victory in the COVID-19 Vaccine race played a huge role in Gold’s heavy decline early in the week. Stocks regarding travelling, hospitality, entertainment, and anything else “reopening” related saw gains while precious metals were sold off. Gold saw a 4.5% decrease from its peak. Nonetheless, in recent weeks, Precious Metals have displayed noticeable bullish behaviour, with Silver surpassing a 7-year high and Gold surpassing the $2000 (USD/oz) mark. Numerous factors have played part in this bullish movement, pushing investors towards Safe-Havens. Investors are looking towards Precious Metals, such as Gold & Silver, in order to hedge against
the inflation caused by economic stimulus on behalf of Governments worldwide. A weakening dollar also forecasts the possibility of rising prices for commodities such as Precious Metals.
