Gold prices edged up slightly higher and attempted to continue their gains on Tuesday. XAU/USD hovers around $1,900/troy ounce during the Asian session on Wednesday, having found signs of recovery after 4 consecutive weeks of default losses despite a firmer US Dollar (USD).
However, growing risk aversion and concerns about the Chinese economy are weighing on Gold prices. These factors can impact the total action value.
The US Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the greenback's performance, therefore, for the six major currencies, picked up resilience on Tuesday and ended the day with gains. At the time of writing, DXY is hovering around the 103.50 level. Falling US Treasury yields and falling US home sales could put the greenback under pressure.
