The Yellow Metal Amidst Market Volatility
The rates are surging due to the US dollar’s weakness and the 10-year bond yield decline. Anuj Gupta, Head of Commodity & Currency at HDFC Securities, shed light on the matter, stating, The upward movement of precious metals prices is due to the ongoing decline in the US dollar and the decreasing yield of US 10-year bonds. This trend is evident in the 10-year US yields falling 1.58% to 4.32%, approaching a new cycle low. Furthermore, the US Dollar Index touched a three-month low, closing with a loss of 0.46% at 102.73 as it slid for the fourth consecutive day.
