China Closed This Week: Let’s See How Gold Trades
Ole Hansen, Head of Commodity Strategy at SaxoBank: Gold rallied back above USD 5,000 on Friday, recovering from a USD 160 slide the previous day after a softer US CPI print pushed bond yields lower and lifted rate-cut expectations. China — a key engine behind the month-long rally in precious metals and selected industrial metals — will remain closed through 23 February, potentially limiting additional upside in the near term. Key levels to watch are USD 4,860 on the downside and USD 5,140 on the upside.
