Sentiment improved and investors began once more to look at other asset classes that perhaps would offer better returns, prompting some commentators to question whether or not it is time to get out of gold.

China increased its interest rates on Tuesday, for the third time since October, to curb the soaring inflation. The People’s Bank of China decided to raise the benchmark rates by 25 basis points. Now the one-year borrowing and lending rates has been increased by 25 basis points, which would come into effect from 10th February. China is experiencing fastest growth rate in 30 months. Following China, other Asian countries like India, Indonesia, Thailand and South Korea also raised the rates to curb the rising inflation.
