Money in the Market: Could gold rebound anytime soon?
When there’s a strong US dollar and negative investor sentiment, Gold seems to lose its shine. Just yesterday, gold prices fell to near a one-month low amid sharp declines in precious metals due to a stronger dollar, with looming Federal Reserve interest rate hikes also denting bullion’s appeal.
