Prior to this, prices had risen for six trading days in a row and had rushed from record to record - most recently on Monday at 4357 dollars.
The gold price has recently been supported by a number of factors. These included geopolitical tensions, trade conflicts and the partial closure of government agencies. Since the beginning of the year, the price of gold has risen by more than 60 percent.
The experts at Activtrades attribute the recent losses to the dollar's gains, among other things. If it strengthens, gold traded in dollars becomes more expensive in other currency areas and thus curbs demand. However, the experts did not expect a real trend reversal.
