Weak economy and QE may boost gold prices again

The U.S. dollar rose against the G-10 currency across the board on May 21. Most of the US Treasury bonds were higher, as the escalation of international tensions pushed up the demand for risk aversion. The US stock market fell, and the number of people who filed for unemployment relief for the first time last week reached 2.44 million. The Bank of Japan will hold an emergency policy meeting today, which is expected to strengthen financial support for companies hit by the epidemic. In addition to the pressure caused by the discussion that the Bank of England will adopt negative interest rates, the pound has also been negatively affected by the Brexit negotiations, and the negotiation situation has deteriorated.
