Gold rates and the US Dollar index are adversely related to each other. Gold in the international markets is traded against the US Dollar. Today, US Dollar has gained marginally globally in the spot markets, marking the gold rates lower than yesterday.

Gold rates in December are quite volatile because investors are not very much sure about the upcoming global economic trend. They are certainly concerned about the Omicron Covid virus, which can affect the global economy. So, that will be the scope for gold rates to be bullish again globally.

However, investors are also thinking that the US Fed, will be militant against the high inflation rate, to increase common people's purchasing capacity. So, a tighter monetary policy is awaited. This is again not helping the gold rates to gain internationally significantly.
