GOLD PRICE UP DESPITE HEADWIND

“The price increased despite the US dollar appreciating noticeably and bond yields rising further. The upswing is all the more remarkable given that the gold ETFs tracked by Bloomberg also registered outflows of 2.7 tons yesterday.”

“The US labour market is very tight, serving as a key argument for Fed rate hikes. Robust data today could push rate hike expectations further up and put pressure on the gold price again.”
