Gold prices rose on Monday after falling more than 1% in the previous session. Because a pause in the dollar rally has eased some of the pressure from the dollar-priced bullion. However, US rate hikes limited further gains.
“A move to $1,600 for gold is only a matter of time!”
Spot gold was trading at $1,657.3, up 0.87% as of writing. However, the yellow metal posted its biggest weekly drop since July last week. U.S. gold futures rose 0.84% to $1,662. The dollar index (DXY) is flat for now. The benchmark US 10-year Treasury yields, on the other hand, faded away from the 14-year high touched last week. City Index analyst Matt Simpson comments:
Gold rose slightly from Friday’s low. However, buyers were not convinced. So it’s more like technical repositioning. The US dollar and its yields will be a major driver for gold. If they continue to rise, then a $1,600 move and test is probably just a matter of time.
SPDR Gold Trust Holdings see decline
