According to world financial experts, in the context of rising inflation in the US, the dollar depreciated compared to many other strong currencies. Along with that, the US bond interest rate also decreased from 1.53 percent a year to 1.48 percent a year, so businesspersons expected a strong cash flow into the gold market. This is the reason why gold prices jumped sharply.
