Gold Price at Close Report: Gold hits more than 18-month low as dollar gains on Turkey troubles I CNBC
cnbc.com CNBC AP Gold fell to a more than 18-month low on Wednesday as the dollar climbed towards its highest in over a year on concerns about global market contagion triggered by recent declines in the Turkish lira. Further gold liquidation from emerging markets to strengthen local currencies also pressured bullion, several traders said. The advancing dollar and worries of continued oversupply also pushed platinum and palladium to their lowest since October 2008 and July 2017 respectively.
