There is increasing concern that we may see a resurgence of coronavirus in some parts of the world, potentially paving the way for another blockbuster summer for gold. Australia is currently at a perilous point in its pandemic, with the highly contagious Delta variant now spreading, major new lockdowns imposed and doctors warning that the country simply doesn’t have enough vaccine to win the race against the virus.
