Gold and copper hardly change in response to economic worries

Wednesday gold and copper prices were relatively unchanged as the dollar stayed near 20-year highs due to fears of an economic slowdown.


At 19:39 EDT, spot gold was $1,628.67 per ounce, while gold futures were $1,639.0 per ounce (23:39 GMT). On Tuesday, both surged momentarily as the dollar slid from 20-year highs, alleviating the pressure on gold.


Continuing stock market declines and fears of a recession pushed funds back into the currency. This year, rising interest rates and the Fed's aggressive stance have made the dollar a safer refuge than gold.


In 2022, during the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the price of gold plummeted by 27 percent. Prices have breached two important support levels, and additional declines are anticipated.


The dominance of the U.S. dollar has harmed commodities, particularly gold. ING analysts found that higher rates raise the opportunity cost of owning gold.


The bank expects gold to end the year near $1,650 per ounce, with significant respite coming when the Fed modifies its hawkish stance.


Copper prices remained elevated as traders anticipated a near-term fall in demand.


Copper futures prices dropped to $3.2920 per pound.


Copper prices have declined this year due to concerns that a recession will diminish industrial demand and activity.


Investors are concerned about weakening economic statistics from China, the world's largest copper importer, and slow industrial activity in Europe and the United States.


The Chinese manufacturing data released on Friday is expected to reveal a further decline.
