Investing.com - Gold ended November down almost 6%, booking its worst month in four years, as relentless news of progress in Covid-19 vaccines and the diminishing need to hedge against an economic collapse continued to divert money from safe-havens into risk markets and crypto currencies.
Gold for February delivery on New York’s Commodity Exchange Incorporated (Comex) settled Monday’s trade down $7.20, or 0.4% at $1,780.90 an ounce.
It earlier hit $1,767.40, a low not seen since June 19, when it sank to an intraday bottom of $1,745.50.
For the month, the benchmark U.S. gold futures contract lost $112.50, or 5.9%.
It was the yellow metal’s worst ever month since November 2016, when it fell more than 7%.
The loss was even sharper — some $300 or 15% — if compared to where Comex’s front-month for gold stands now versus early August when it hit record highs of nearly $2,090.
For the most ardent fans of gold, the current situation would have been unthinkable just a few months back, when investment banks were forecasting $3,000 an ounce or more before the end of 2020 from a confluence of COVID-19-related stimulus spending and dollar weakness.
