Gold falls as investors sell off
Stock markets fell from Asia to North America as investors fled riskier assets while betting that the Federal Reserve will need to cut interest rates quickly to boost US economic growth.
"Stocks are falling as the US jobs report (on Friday) showed the US economy created fewer jobs than expected last month, while factories across the US, China and Europe are struggling with weak demand," said Phil Flynn, senior analyst at Price Futures Group.
The Bank of Japan (BOJ) raised its main interest rate again last week and also said it would halve the amount of government bonds it buys. The news of the tightening sent the Japanese yen higher against the US dollar. Tighter monetary policy in Japan, combined with the prospect of an imminent US rate cut, has shifted global investment flows, including the unwinding of the yen yield spread trade.
