What analysts are saying
Gold’s month-long rally hit a wall this week as higher Treasury yields and a rising dollar spoiled the party, leaving the yellow metal below the $1,800 per ounce level. If the most-active gold futures contract finishes the session at these levels, it would mark the worst week for the yellow metal since July 8, according to Dow Jones Market Data.
“Gold is edging lower again as the dollar continues to see strong support. The resurgence in the greenback has weighed heavily on the yellow metal which was already seeing profit-taking after reaching $1,800,” said Craig Erlam, senior market strategist at OANDA.
