Gold Futures Rise Slightly Amid Decline in U.S. Treasury Yields
Gold futures edged higher on Thursday following a drop to two-month lows the previous day, supported by a decline in U.S. Treasury yields after a strong 30-year auction. The retreat came as investors reacted positively to the auction results, which eased concerns about rising borrowing costs for the government. The benchmark 10-year and 30-year Treasury yields fell to 5.232% and 5.606%, respectively, from earlier highs in morning trading. This decline provided some relief to gold prices, as higher interest rates typically reduce demand for non-yielding assets like bullion. The market remains sensitive to developments around U.S. debt issuance and monetary policy expectations.
