Gold's Stability in Asian Trading Faces Challenges Amidst

16 août 2023

During the early hours of the Asian trading session, gold maintains a stable position, benefiting from the decrease in Treasury yields. This factor enhances the allure of this non-interest-bearing precious metal. Nonetheless, the potential for gold to remain in a challenging situation, often referred to as the "house of pain," persists if the ongoing sell-off in the bond market does not ease, according to an email statement by Edward Moya, a senior market analyst at Oanda. The considerable yield offered by 30-year Treasuries reduces the attractiveness of the precious metal, even amidst the unsettling impact of China's property-market struggles on global markets, Moya further explains. The current value of spot gold shows minimal variation at $1,902.14 per ounce.
