The world gold market was under pressure due to the increase in US Treasury bond yields and the USD index. Yields on 10-year US Treasuries hit their highest level in 15 years. The USD index recorded a 9-week high, closing the session at 103 points.
Bond yields rose ahead of the possibility that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) would maintain the current high interest rates, not to mention the Fed may continue to raise interest rates in September. That creates a challenging environment for gold, which means gold prices are unlikely to rise in the near term.
