Gold drops more than $ 10
Currently, gold trades -0.21% lower at 1135.90, recovering from 1133 lows reached in last hours. The yellow metal was trading with sizeable losses today as markets breathed a sigh of relief after the Shanghai stocks halted its downward spiral responding to the PBOC rate cut and rallied driving the market sentiment along with it.
Moreover, the losses in the bullion were accelerated after the greenback also rebounded sharply reacting to the upbeat sentiment, thereby weighing on the gold prices. The US dollar index, a virtual gauge of greenback’s strength, trades 0.36% higher at 94.24.
