Gold on the brink on latest dip below $1,900
NEW YORK (September 27) Even though Treasury yields are not making new highs today, gold is once again slumping as the dollar remains steady overall. Of note, price is dipping below $1,900 and that is starting to stir up some nerves among buyers surely.
The previous dip earlier this month was held at the $1,900 mark but with it potentially giving way today, it raises fresh concerns about gold's recent resilience. The August lows around $1,885 will be the next big line in the sand to watch out for as a break there leaves little in the way of a steeper decline in gold.
The breakout in Treasury yields since last week is definitely a key trigger but the good thing for gold at least is that yields are not really racing higher in the past two days. 10-year yields in the US are still hovering around 4.50% to 4.55% and that is keeping broader market sentiment on edge, with gold being no exception to that.
Month-end and quarter-end flows could still muddy things up this week but in the bigger picture, if yields continue to stay higher, this little technical blip lower could end up being a key catalyst for the next correction lower in gold prices.
