In the conditions of uncertainty, the prices of precious metals fall down. When there is a signal that some stable conditions are coming ahead in the near future, the prices are lowered.
It has been reported that these current drop in prices of gold are apparently a reaction to the news of successful coronavirus vaccine.
The condition of world economy is associated with investment in the metals. When the conditions are unfavorable for the economy, investment in metal goes high whereas when the conditions seems to be stable for the economy, investors tend to move away from the metals.
