Darius is delighted to have the opportunity to meet with you once again and discuss the topic of Gold. Today, we witnessed a remarkable turn of events after several consecutive days of declining prices. Gold experienced a slight increase and is currently being traded at 1871 USD, which signifies a rise of approximately 6 USD compared to yesterday's trading session. Simultaneously, both the USD and US government bond yields reached their highest level in 16 years. This surge in rates has raised the opportunity cost associated with holding gold, prompting investors to sell off their holdings.
However, it is important to note that these gains may face limitations due to resistance at $1,900 per ounce. The reason for this lies in higher interest rates which diminishes gold's appeal as an inflation hedge and could potentially drive down its price.
