Yahoo Finance Gold Price Prediction – Prices Slip as Yields Rise Buoying the Greenback
Gold prices moved lower on Monday as US yields moved higher across the interest rate curve, which helped buoy the greenback. The rise in the value of the US dollar paved the way for lower gold prices. Despite the need for a further extension of a Brexit, the pound rallied into the close of the day, as there appears to be many who believe that Johnson will get parliament to eventually vote for a bill he is sponsoring. There appears to be progressing with a deal between the US and China. China’s Vice Premier confirmed progress in trade talks with the US, though no date has been set to resume negotiations before a formal agreement between Trump and Xi in November.
