Globally, yellow metal hit a four-week high as a weaker dollar and a dip in U.S. Treasury yields boosted demand for the safe-haven metal amid mounting worries over an economic slowdown, according to Reuters. Spot gold was up 0.4% at $1,778.69 per ounce, its highest since July 5. U.S. gold futures gained 0.2% to $1,791.10 per ounce.

The worsening global economy has helped boost demand for safe-haven gold. A weakening dollar and falling bond yields have further supported the cause. A weak US GDP, disappointing manufacturing data from both US and Eurozone, and a struggling Chinese factory activity number have helped ramp up the gold demand. In the recent past, we had witnessed that a large part of the safe haven flows was moving towards the dollar index rather than gold, but in the last few weeks, gold seems to be back in vogue. This change in trend is due to the hawkish tone adopted by the US Fed and worsening economic conditions in the US. We expect gold to face some resistance around $1800, but every dip will be a good buying opportunity.
