Investors usually turn to gold when there is uncertainty in the market. The outbreak of COVID-19 impacted the markets as business activities came to a standstill for some time. During this period, investors turned the spotlight on gold. The yellow metal became more attractive because of change in global monetary policies that led to a low interest rate scenario and unprecedented liquidity.
