Gold prices continued to decline today, reaching the lowest point in a week at 1918.98 USD/ounce due to the strengthening of the US dollar and higher interest rates on government bonds.
"The concerns about economic recession in the US have been consistently pushed back, and we can see potential recovery in activity data pushing up the US dollar."
As a result, the US dollar is being held near its highest level in six months, reducing investors' demand for gold. This creates pressure on gold prices in the near future.
