Gold prices traded around $1,920 per troy ounce in the first hours of trading during Monday's Asian session. The precious metal managed to hold on to its previous weekly close, receiving some support from the weakening US Dollar (USD).
The US Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the Greenback's performance against six major currencies, is currently trading around 104.80, slightly below its peak since April. However, US Treasury bond yields are rising, which could put pressure on the yellow metal's price. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury note increased to 4.29%, up 0.52%.
