© Reuters.  Gold sinks in worst one-day showing in six weeks
  • Gold prices suffered their steepest one-day drop in nearly six weeks, weighed by easing tensions between the U.S. and North Korea, a stronger dollar, and better than expected reading on retail sales and U.S. manufacturing.
  • December Comex gold settled 0.8% lower at $1,279.70/oz., slightly paring earlier losses after falling as much as 1.4% earlier.
  • “Unless tensions between the United States and North Korea escalate into a military conflict, there should be little upside to gold prices from current levels,” says Julius Baer commodities analyst Carsten Menke.
  • But RBC Capital analysts think inflows into gold ETFs could re-accelerate in the current quarter, boosted by a strengthening net speculative position and positive gold price momentum heading into a seasonally stronger period in Q3.
