The value of the USD has skyrocketed after the above information. US bond interest rates for the 10-year term jumped to 4.65%, for the 2-year term to 5.07%.

Under pressure from the USD and US bonds, speculators are probably worried that gold prices will plummet after reaching 1,885 USD/ounce. So they took the opportunity to sell it and make a profit. As a result, today's world gold price decreased by 15 USD to 1,870 USD/ounce at 6:00 a.m. on October 13.
