World gold continues to plunge: should buy or sell?
The global price of gold has reached a critical point, hovering around $1,903 per ounce. On the Comex New York exchange, gold for December delivery is valued at $1,937 per ounce.
At the start of the trading session, there were instances when the world market's gold price dipped below $1,900 per ounce due to the strengthening US dollar.
In recent days, the value of the dollar in international markets has surged as a result of mounting pressure on exchange rates in Asia. This surge coincides with ongoing efforts by the US Federal Reserve (Fed) to tighten its monetary policy. There are expectations that interest rates may be raised once again during their September meeting - this would mark their 12th rate hike.
However, it is believed that over time, it will become increasingly challenging for the US dollar to avoid a downward trend. This is largely due to an impending reversal in Fed's monetary policy and diminishing purchasing power of the greenback as major countries such as China and Russia gradually reduce their dependence on using dollars in transactions.
