Gold pressured by high US Treasury bond yields
Meanwhile, US Treasury bond yields continue to be headwinds for Gold. The US 10-year Treasury bond yield continues to edge higher, almost four bps, and yields 3.540%, underpinning the greenback. The US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the buck’s performance against a basket of six peers, advanced 0.22%, and reclaimed the 102.000 mark at 102.051.
Gold Technical Analysis
Even though the XAU/USD remains slightly positive in the week, a doji emerging after a two-and-a-half-month rally from $1,616.71 to $1,949.16 suggests it could end. As XAU/USD drops below Thursday’s close, it has opened the door for further downside, but a daily close below the weekly low reached on Monday at $1,911.49 is needed to pave the way for a dip to $1,900. If that scenario plays out, the next support area would be the confluence of the January 18 low and the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at around $1,896/97. Conversely, XAU/USD’s reclaiming $1,930 would keep Gold sideways.
