Gold gains as bonds fall and dollar weakens
Gold prices increased modestly by 0.1% to $4,174.76 per ounce, supported by declining U.S. Treasury bond yields and a weaker dollar, amid investor interest in fixed-income instruments due to concerns over the surge in artificial intelligence investments. Other precious metals such as silver, platinum, and palladium also rose, while the dollar index declined by 0.2%. U.S. Treasury yields fell between 12 and 15 basis points, enhancing gold's appeal despite the pressures from rising borrowing costs and its decreasing value since the start of the US-Iran conflict. Markets are now looking forward to Federal Reserve Chairman's statements regarding the possibility of interest rate hikes in October, amidst ongoing inflation concerns and their impact on the market.
