Gold prices face pressure from rising US Treasury yields
Gold prices have faced downward pressure, declining approximately 2% over the past week, as rising US Treasury yields and a strengthening US dollar increase the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets. The 10-year US Treasury yield has surged toward 5%, a level not seen in years, driven by persistent inflation concerns and expectations that the Federal Reserve may maintain a restrictive monetary policy.
Despite this volatility, gold has shown resilience, holding around $4,280-$4,300 per ounce. Analysts note that central bank demand and steady inflows into gold-backed ETFs—which saw $18 billion in net inflows in August—provide a significant floor for the market.
Long-term projections remain optimistic among major institutions. ICICI Bank anticipates gold could reach $5,000 per ounce in the first half of 2027, while TD Securities projects a potential climb to $5,350 per ounce in the second half of 2027, provided economic conditions such as falling real interest rates and a weaker dollar materialize.
