[OCBC Bank: Gold May Benefit from U.S. Government Restart] Vasu Menon, Managing Director of Investment Strategy at Singapore's OCBC Bank, stated that gold could be a potential beneficiary asset from the U.S. government restart. After the shutdown ends, the U.S. government will release delayed economic data. If the data indicates a slowdown in economic growth, it may provide an opportunity for the Federal Reserve to ease policies earlier, which the market might interpret as a low-interest-rate environment, favorable for gold.
