Yuan Gold Fix
While the Yuan price of gold continues to dip a little and the Yuan continues to strengthen, Shanghai is now leading the gold price, in New York and London a little weaker, alongside a weaker dollar.
The pattern usually seen in London and New York is for the gold price to go in the opposite direction to the dollar. Because of Shanghai’s influence this pattern is being broken, at the moment. But we do not read too much into this as the moves in the gold price are too small to be conclusive.
