Gold price today: USD increased strongly pushed gold price down
The world gold price today hovered around $1,927 per ounce.
On the night of 8/8, the world gold price was approximately 5.5% ($101 per ounce) higher than at the start of 2023.
Gold prices fell significantly in the international market due to a strong USD following negative news from China.
The drop in gold was mainly attributed to the USD's surge as the yuan (CNY) plummeted due to disappointing economic data, including weak import and export figures.
However, there is potential support for precious metals from Turkey. The Turkish government plans to relax restrictions on the gold market by lifting the ban on gold imports and implementing new fees and quotas.
