Gold Prices Reach Two-Week High Amid Weakening US Dollar and Treasury Yields
Gold futures have extended their recent gains, reaching a two-week high as macroeconomic headwinds for the U.S. dollar and Treasury yields emerge. The decline in the greenback, which hit its lowest level since late September, has made the precious metal more attractive to investors holding other currencies. Simultaneously, the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield has retreated to near a two-month low. This shift follows market reactions to the Democratic Party's sweep of Congress in the U.S. midterm elections, creating a favorable environment for non-yielding assets like gold.
