Financial services company INTL FCStone Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia market analysis head Rhona O’Connell says the majority of precious metals have moved into uncertain territory, with future trends difficult to predict as Covid-19 disrupts international buying and selling markets.
She further notes that although gold has performed well as a safe haven asset, with the onset of Covid-19 into territories, besides its origin of China, came an unexpected drop in its value. “It initially dropped and a lot of people questioned why this happened as it seemed counter-intuitive [to how a safe haven asset should perform in times of financial turmoil.”
