An inversed relationship
There is a long running inverse relationship between gold and yields. As a non-interest bearing asset, gold becomes less attractive when yields, or real yields in-particular, go up.
Using the TIPS (Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities) and inverting the price (price and yields are inversely related), we get a proxy for real-yields. With this, we can look at the 10-year chart of gold prices vs yields and the inverse relationship becomes clear now-- rising real yields push gold prices down!
As gold is quoted in US dollar, the strengthening dollar has added salt to the wound, further weakening the price of gold.
On a shorter timeframe, the 1875 handle seems to be of a significant level, providing the previous levels of support and resistance.
With this support level breached last week and a retest this week, coupled with the rising yields and a strong US dollar, we see further downside for gold from here.
Entry at 1875, stop above 1960. Targets are 1762 and 1680.
