Gold rallies to 4-week high as dollar and yields tumble

Hello traders, what are your thoughts on gold today?

Gold prices are heating up again in the global market as the US dollar weakens and Treasury yields drop. At the time of writing, gold has surged by 50 dollars, reaching 3,390 USD per ounce — its highest level in four weeks.

The sharp decline in the US dollar is one of the main drivers behind gold’s impressive rally. The USD Index, which had risen significantly last week, lost momentum and fell sharply in overnight trading. Meanwhile, the yield on 10-year US Treasury bonds has dropped to around 4.3%, down from recent highs, increasing gold's appeal as a non-yielding asset.

Market sentiment is also being shaped by broader macroeconomic factors. Crude oil futures have dipped slightly, trading around 67 USD per barrel, reflecting investor caution amid global economic uncertainty. These combined forces have created a favorable environment for gold's strong upward movement.

If the dollar continues to weaken and bond yields remain low, gold could sustain its bullish trend. However, traders should remain alert to potential volatility driven by upcoming US Federal Reserve policy moves and key economic data releases, such as inflation reports and GDP growth figures, which may impact gold's trajectory.
