Daily digest market movers: Gold price rallies, as US real yields drop
The US 10-year Treasury yield tumbled four and a half basis points to 4.339%. US real yields fall three and a half bps to 2.149%, as shown by the US 10-year Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities yields failing to cap Gold prices.
The NY Empire State Manufacturing Index improved to -8.1 in April 2025 from -20 in March, the lowest price since May 2023, compared to forecasts of -14.5. Despite this, the reading hinted that business activity declined while input prices increased.
March Retail Sales are expected to rise from 0.6% to 1.3% MoM on Wednesday. However, the so-called control group used for calculations of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is expected to drop from 1% to 0.6%, implying that households are beginning to cut expenses amid an economic downturn.
Later, Industrial Production for the same period is forecast to shrink by 0.2% MoM, below February’s 0.7% expansion. This could halt a series of positive readings after three straight months of contractions witnessed from September to November 2024.
Money market players had priced in 85 bps of easing toward the end of 2025. The first cut is expected in July.

Gold FAQs
Gold has played a key role in human’s history as it has been widely used as a store of value and medium of exchange. Currently, apart from its shine and usage for jewelry, the precious metal is widely seen as a safe-haven asset, meaning that it is considered a good investment during turbulent times. Gold is also widely seen as a hedge against inflation and against depreciating currencies as it doesn’t rely on any specific issuer or government.
Central banks are the biggest Gold holders. In their aim to support their currencies in turbulent times, central banks tend to diversify their reserves and buy Gold to improve the perceived strength of the economy and the currency. High Gold reserves can be a source of trust for a country’s solvency. Central banks added 1,136 tonnes of Gold worth around $70 billion to their reserves in 2022, according to data from the World Gold Council. This is the highest yearly purchase since records began. Central banks from emerging economies such as China, India and Turkey are quickly increasing their Gold reserves.
Gold has an inverse correlation with the US Dollar and US Treasuries, which are both major reserve and safe-haven assets. When the Dollar depreciates, Gold tends to rise, enabling investors and central banks to diversify their assets in turbulent times. Gold is also inversely correlated with risk assets. A rally in the stock market tends to weaken Gold price, while sell-offs in riskier markets tend to favor the precious metal.
The price can move due to a wide range of factors. Geopolitical instability or fears of a deep recession can quickly make Gold price escalate due to its safe-haven status. As a yield-less asset, Gold tends to rise with lower interest rates, while higher cost of money usually weighs down on the yellow metal. Still, most moves depend on how the US Dollar (USD) behaves as the asset is priced in dollars (XAU/USD). A strong Dollar tends to keep the price of Gold controlled, whereas a weaker Dollar is likely to push Gold prices up.
