By FXStreet Analysts at ANZ noted that commodities were weaker across the board as the stronger USD weighed on investor sentiment.

Key Quotes:

“Gold prices took the brunt of the selling, as investors look to lock in profits after this year’s strong rally. Another strong rise in holdings in ETFs earlier this week (now at 1827.3 tonnes) is likely to reverse as investors contemplate another rate hike in the US as early as next month.
