Gold is close to 5 year bottom

Today the gold dropped again reflecting downward pressure on metals in recent days. And this is the biggest decline for the past two years. The expectations are for new losses in its sluggish demand.
The expected rise in US interest rates reduces interest in the metal as an investment and encourages sellers. On Monday gold depreciated by 4%. Meanwhile  the assets of the largest fund trading with gold SPDR Gold Trust fell again and reached its lowest level since 2008.
The spot price overnight fell to 1093 dollars, and the morning was 1102 dollars. Monday was hit bottom at  1088.05 dollars per troy ounce , which was the lowest price since March 2010.The mass sales were accelerated by the large volumes traded on the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
The demand from the physical sector remains weak despite the large decline in the price. India is in   hurry to join at a sluggish from China  as the potential buyers  are waiting for new lows in price.
The decline of gold is accompanied by a decrease in the whole sector of the precious metals, which is suffering  heavy losses.
