Recently, the USA said their non-farm payrolls have increased at 531,000 in October, which is above the consensus anticipation of 450,000, showing a trend of economic recovery.

So, until the US Fed decides to hike the interest rate, the gold rates are expected to keep rising. Commenting on the matter, analyst Neils Christensen told Kitco, "But it's not just the Federal Reserve that is not ready to raise interest. The Bank of England was the biggest surprise in central bank news as it did not raise interest rates on Thursday. A rate hike had been telegraphed by the BoE and markets had fully priced in the move and were sorely disappointed." Hence, the gold rates, globally will stay bullish for the time being.
