Gold Prices Fall to Seven-Week Low Amid Yield Pressure and Stronger Dollar
· Business · Times of India, Bloomberg, Economic Times
Gold prices have dropped nearly 12 percent from their August highs, touching a seven-week low of $4,111 an ounce. Treasury yields have served as the primary headwind, with the 30-year yield hitting its highest level since 2002 and the 10-year near its highest since 2007 amid persistent inflation concerns. A firmer US dollar has added downward pressure on the precious metal. Despite falling prices, gold ETF holdings have continued to rise toward multi-year highs, indicating sustained investor interest. Market participants are now awaiting US inflation data and the upcoming jobs report to gauge the Federal Reserve's policy trajectory.
