Gold,
in context.
Price is the headline. Rates, the dollar, inflation expectations and geopolitical risk explain the move.
Four signals to watch
Real interest rates
Gold competes with yield. Falling inflation-adjusted rates usually reduce the cost of holding a non-yielding asset.
The U.S. dollar

Central banks
Reserve purchases can create structural demand that behaves differently from short-term investor flows.
