CloseCross, which is regulated under MIFID II rules, enables traders to generate profits through a simplified three clicks process of selecting an asset, predicting price-bracket(s) and committing funds to these predictions, for a variety of asset classes including crypto, stocks, indexes, commodities, forex pairings, etc.
CloseCross CEO, Vaibhav Kadikar, said: “There are several conflicting factors impacting the price of gold. It is supported by persisting concerns about the Coronavirus crisis, a volatile global economic recovery, China’s regulatory crackdown measures, and increased geopolitical tensions.
“US monetary policy is also a key factor in the price of gold and any tapering of bond purchases, or interest rates rising could see it fall. Inflation, which has been rising, will be one of the main drivers behind how monetary policies could change.
“Demand for gold from central banks also plays a key role in the price of gold. Many paused purchases while responding to the worst of the pandemic, but they resumed buying gold this year and how this progresses over the next few months will have a big impact on its price.
“The gold trading data on our platform shows there is no real consensus as to what will happen to the price of gold in the short-term.”
