Gold steadies as markets weigh severity of
coronavirus outbreak
Gold prices held steady on Monday as rising concerns over the severity of the coronavirus outbreak offset a slight
reprieve for equities after China eased some work and travel restrictions.
Spot gold was little changed at $1,570.50 per ounce by 0746 GMT, while US gold futures were up 0.1 per cent to
$1,575.60.
Asian shares pared losses as workers began trickling back to offices and factories around China as the government
eased some restrictions.
