Gold prices were affected locally and globally from the spread of the new Corona virus, and disturbances and declines hit the stock market and global exchanges, while the movement of domestic tourism was affected and some factories stopped working.
Gold prices have recorded a significant increase since the beginning of the persistent fear of investors about the increasing deaths of the emerging “Corona virus” outside the Chinese territories, and they turned to the precious metal as a safe haven, which raised the demand for it, increasing more than 6% since the beginning of 2020.
The World Gold Council predicts prices have doubled
Globally, Carlos Artigas, director of investment research at the World Gold Council, expected gold prices to continue to rise in the coming days following the surprising decision of the US central bank to cut interest rates.
He explained that gold prices globally will continue to rise to weakness in the long run in the period when interest rates are negative, indicating that businessmen may consider replacing part of their investments in bonds to gold.
