Gold Prices Decline to Two-Week Low Amid Rising Yields and Dollar Strength
Gold prices fell to a two-week low amid rising U.S. Treasury yields and a stronger dollar, which increased costs for international buyers. The metal dropped below its 200-day moving average, triggering technical selling. Investors are closely watching upcoming U.S. jobs data for indications on Federal Reserve interest rate decisions, with officials signaling possible hikes if inflation persists. Rising Middle East tensions have also contributed to inflation concerns and bond market volatility, affecting gold and other precious metals.
