Trading Gold: How It Works (2)



Gold is effectively a currency in the forex market. It is nearly always traded against the US dollar with the code XAU/USD. As a result, your strategy needs to track movements in the US dollar.

An increase in the price of the US dollar could push the value of gold down. So keep abreast of forex news websites for tips on upcoming trends and analysis.
