Head of Research at Monex Investindo Futures, Ariston Tjendra, said fears of an economic slowdown due to the corona virus seem to continue today, and encourage a shift to safe assets.
"The price of gold soared to US $ 1,605 per troy ounce. The rupiah could be under pressure today following this sentiment," Ariston told VOI.
