A stern signal from the new Federal Reserve chair at Jackson Hole weighed on gold last week, while oil prices fell by more than 5%.
The first remarks by the new Fed chief at the Jackson Hole symposium shaped market sentiment, according to economist Aleksandras Izgorodinas. Gold, silver and the euro all declined after the speech.
Oil prices also dropped sharply as the risk premium linked to the Middle East fell. Equity markets, however, avoided more substantial losses despite the pressure on other major assets.
