Gold prices reached a fresh high as traders assessed global risk appetite. Lower US 10-year Treasury yields supported the precious metal. Analysts are watching for continued yield declines.
The US 10-year yield is attempting to break down, potentially driving yields towards the 4% level. Such a move would provide a tailwind for gold. Traders are looking to buy gold on short-term pullbacks after a bounce.
The gold market has shown resilience despite a significant sell-off several Fridays ago. Analysts expect gold to eventually reach its previous highs. The market may shift to favor gold, then silver.
Other markets are also under scrutiny. The Australian dollar against the Japanese yen is being watched around the 110 barrier. A break above this level would signal a bullish trend, potentially targeting 111 yen, with a measured move to 112 yen. The FTSE 100 index is consolidating sideways but remains a strong uptrend above 10,450, with a potential target near 11,000.
