— Why it matters today
Gold is pushing higher as central-bank policy headlines stay in the mix as investors lean back toward hard-asset safety.
Gold is trading close to the key $4,200.00 level, a softer dollar at 99.94 is still a tailwind, central-bank headlines are still part of the macro backdrop, while the gold/silver ratio at 67.8 keeps the safety-versus-beta trade in focus.
