Comment: Gold futures are edging lower on Tuesday, as concerns about a faster pace of policy tightening by the U.S. Federal Reserve overshadowed safe-haven demand fueled by escalating tension over Ukraine. From a market perspective, gold is being underpinned by a small drop in U.S. Treasury yields, but a slightly stronger U.S. Dollar is providing resistance. Putting a lid on the market, however, are rising Treasury yields on Fed tapering expectations and hedge fund position-squaring. In other news, holdings of the world’s largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund, SPDR Gold Trust, rose to their highest since late August 2021 last Friday.
