Brexit Updates 

On the Brexit front, British Lawmakers rejected the government’s attempt to pass its Brexit deal on Tuesday. House of Commons was given a period of three days to debate the Withdrawal Agreement Bill, and that timetable was voted against by the legislators with a majority of 322-308. The votes made it almost impossible for PM Boris Johnson to accomplish Brexit on the said deadline of October 31, 2019. Gold prices jumped a little after this Brexit news on Tuesday.

Gold prices showed up and down movement throughout the day. The downward movement was caused by the weak macroeconomic data from the US side, and an upward trend was followed by the hopes of a further interest rate cut by the Fed in the next meeting.
