Brief analysis of fundamentals:
On Tuesday (January 24), the U.S. economic data was mixed. Although the initial value of the Markit service industry and manufacturing PMI in January was still below the line of prosperity and contraction, they both improved compared with the previous value. Boosted by this, the U.S. dollar index once soared To 102.45, but then the Richmond Fed manufacturing index in January dropped sharply to -11, far below the expected value, which once again triggered market concerns about the U.S. economic recession. The U.S. index fell sharply and fell below the 102 mark. Spot Gold continued to rise, reaching as high as $1,942.41 per ounce during the session, setting a nine-month high since April last year for four consecutive days, closing up 0.31%.
