3PM USD: Fed Chair Powell Testifies
Comment: Gold prices are muted through the start of the trading week, with a lack of potential risk events leaving the yellow metal susceptible to prevailing risk trends. A surge in Treasury yields resulting from last week’s FOMC decision is weighing on prices. Higher government bond yields tend to dissuade holding the non-interest-bearing asset. The benchmark 10-year note’s yield is trading at 1.5% – the highest level since June. Gold prices have plunged more than 5.1% off the September highs with the sell-off taking XAU/USD back into key technical support.
