The Dollar and US Treasury Yields Rise in Tandem, Increasing Downside Risks for Gold

#1
Gold prices fell nearly 1% on Wednesday, closing at $2337.88 per ounce, as the dollar strengthened to a two-week high and US Treasury yields rose to a four-week high, while hawkish comments from Federal Reserve officials dampened market sentiment. Market attention now shifts to the upcoming release of US inflation data later this week, with technical indicators suggesting downside risks for gold, potentially testing the $2300 level.
