Gold came under considerable pressure on Monday and fell by almost 3% to around $1,820. As strategists at Commerzbank note, gold is facing headwind from the persistently firm US dollar and, above all, from the further rapid rises in bond yields.
“Yields on two-year US Treasuries have surged by around 30 basis points. Yields on ten-year US Treasuries climbed for a time above 3.4%, their highest level in more than eleven years. As a result, real interest rates have also picked up significantly and at 0.68% now find themselves at their highest level in over three years. This makes gold less attractive as a non-interest-bearing alternative investment.”
“According to the Wall Street Journal, the US Federal Reserve will be raising interest rates by 75 basis points tomorrow, which the market immediately priced in. The market now anticipates rate hikes totalling 200 basis points by September.”
