What moves gold
Gold pays no interest, so it tends to weaken when real interest rates rise and strengthen when they fall. A stronger US dollar usually weighs on it too, since gold is priced in dollars.
Central bank buying and demand for a safe haven during crises add support; jewellery and industrial demand matter less day to day.
