Comment:
Gold prices fell on Wednesday and were set for a fifth straight month of losses amid fears of aggressive policy tightening by the Federal Reserve, while copper rose as Chinese manufacturing activity improved slightly in August. Bullion prices tumbled on Tuesday after data showed a bigger-than-expected rise in U.S. job openings. The dollar index surged after the reading, given that strength in the labor market gives the Fed more space to raise rates aggressively.
