- US Treasury yields ticked higher amid inflation-related concerns.
- The EU announced the sixth round of sanctions on Russia, pushing oil prices higher.
- XAUUSD gains bearish traction in the near term, pressuring the bottom of its recent range.
XAUUSD fell to $1839.52 a troy ounce, now trading a couple of bucks above that level. The bright metal eased through the first half of the day amid renewed dollar strength following a holiday in the US. Gold remained under pressure despite the greenback losing its shine in US trading hours and giving up most of its early gains across the FX board.
Asian and European equities closed in the red as investors weighed soaring EU inflation and higher crude oil prices, the latter a result of a new package of sanctions on Russia, which implies immediately cutting 75% of oil imports from the country. Wall Street followed the lead, although US stocks managed to bounce off their intraday lows, putting some pressure on the dollar. US Treasury yields, in the meantime, hedged higher. The yield on the 10-year note is now around 2.84%, up from a daily open of 2.81%.
