Gold Holds Steady Amid Rising Treasury Yields and Fed Tightening

In the early Asian trading session, gold remains stable, having pulled back overnight due to the increase in U.S. Treasury yields. Bond yields, which move in the opposite direction of both bond prices and precious metals, exerted downward pressure on gold. Furthermore, the release of fresh data overnight indicating a strengthening U.S. economy has heightened expectations of further tightening by the Federal Reserve. This has raised the possibility of the Fed maintaining higher interest rates for an extended period, which is likely to exert downward pressure on the price of gold, as noted by analysts at ANZ. As a result, spot gold is currently showing minimal movement, trading at $1,916.29 per ounce.
