Gold Slides as Treasury Yields Rise and Bond Market Resumes

14 авг. 2023 г.

During the early morning Asian session, the price of gold decreases as Treasury yields inched up, diminishing the allure of the precious metal, which does not yield interest.

He also mentioned that this situation might trigger additional sales of gold based on technical factors. As of now, the spot price of gold has dropped by 0.1%, resting at $1,910.87 per ounce.
