The global price of gold has experienced a significant decline, dropping by $21.3 USD to reach $1,828.4 USD per ounce compared to the previous morning. The primary reasons for this decrease are the strengthening of the US Dollar, which has reached its highest level in 10 months, and the increase in yields on US Treasury bonds, which have hit a 16-year high. These factors are hindering any potential reversal for gold.
The short-term outlook for gold is being challenged by rising interest rates. I believe that the "normal tightening cycle" lasting 21 months with a total increase of 3.02% is now clearly behind us. Throughout history, long-term interest rates have peaked just before the Federal Reserve stops raising short-term rates." Darius also emphasized that after reaching its peak, it's only a matter of time before Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell starts cutting interest rates.
