Saefong, precious metal prices traded higher after some pessimistic comments from Moderna’s CEO regarding the vaccine fight against the new Covid variant, which led to a drop in the US stock market, adding to the appeal of the gold paradise. But sales in US equities intensified, possibly causing some investors to sell gold to meet margin calls.

Brien Lundin: When investors realize this, gold price will rise
The Gold Newsletter editor states that the short-term reaction of gold prices to the Omicron variant will affect all geo-political or in this case geo-medical factors, commenting that “it disappears and the price usually stays at the same level”. Brien Lundin comments:
The same goes for market reactions to Jerome Powell’s reappointment and today’s indications that the QE reduction program could be accelerated.

When investors realize this, the gold price will likely rise when the Fed has to bounce back from its rate cut or initiate the first rate hike.

CEO Stéphane Bancel predicts that current vaccines will combat the market-shaking variant of Omicron. Speaking to the Financial Times in an interview published Tuesday, Stéphane Bancel says it will take months to mass-produce a vaccine targeting the new variant, if needed.
