Falling yields and dollar support gold’s rise
“The fall in US Treasury yields and the DXY index have supported gold’s elevated level.”
“Our model suggests a fair value range of $1671-$1775/oz for gold at current inputs, which means at current levels, gold is not too far off its fair value estimation.”
“We close our tactical recommendation of short gold and stay neutral on the precious metal in the short-term.”
“Longer-term, we expect the possible resumption of rising Treasury yields to pressure gold down once more.”
