Reading above 50 indicates expanding activity.
Investors are closely watching the changes in the monetary policy of both the United States and in other countries, as well as studying the economic data in the U.S. seeking guidance regarding the fate of the Fed's stimulus program.
Gold prices have been supported by the stimulus the Fed. Investors feared that the bond purchases will lead to higher inflation and a weakening dollar invested in precious metals as a hedge. However, most recently, fears that the Fed will soon complete these programs lowered the price of gold to near 3-year lows as traders were concerned about a possible decline in demand in the absence of these risks.
