In Europe (except the UK) there was a bank holiday yesterday. The markets were closed. Today, at the opening of the market, the European indices went up. In general, European indices are showing growth dynamics, despite the weak business activity and the GDP statistics of the main European countries.
The gold price is highly correlated with inflation data and Treasury bond yields. As long as the first is rising and the second is falling, which is the case right now, the price of gold and other precious metals will rise.
