Gold Rallies Amid Lower Treasury Yields and Equity Selloff Driven by Inflation Concerns
Gold prices rose by up to 1.4%, trading above $1,650 an ounce, supported by declining US Treasury yields as investors sought safe assets amid a tech-driven stock selloff. Silver also gained. Despite this rally, concerns persist due to higher inflation data and expectations of Federal Reserve interest rate hikes, which typically weigh on gold. The recent US-Iran conflict and rising fuel costs have contributed to inflation pressures, while Fed officials noted uncertainty about whether current rates suffice to meet inflation targets.
