September 2020 gold market: Correction as the dollar bounces

Bearish

An orderly post-record pullback on a dollar bounce.

Gold spent September digesting its record run, slipping toward $1,880 as the dollar staged a recovery and risk appetite wobbled. The pullback was orderly — a consolidation of 2020's enormous gains rather than a trend reversal.

What drove gold in September 2020
