On October 8, strong demand at a 30-year Treasury auction and profit-taking following yield increases to levels last seen in 2002 helped to drive down the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield from an intraday high of over 5.36% to around 5.24%. The dollar also dropped from a recent high. Early Asian trading on October 9 saw a roughly 0.9% rise in gold as spot prices approached USD 4,169 an ounce.
Lower yields help gold by lowering the opportunity cost investors provide when they hold a metal that pays no interest. A weaker dollar can also help international purchasers find gold more reasonably. Rising oil prices and the Federal Reserve's still-hawkish attitude—including the potential of another rate hike—could, nevertheless, limit gains and keep returns high.
The move might be a short-term relief bounce instead of the start of a long-term rally. Gold's future path will mostly rely on real yields: a sustained drop could help to drive more gains, but a recovery in yields or the currency might rekindle pressure. Traders are tracking gold's USD 4,170–4,200 resistance zone and the 10-year yield's 5.20%–5.35% range.
