Gold Prices Fall 22% From January Highs Amid Strong Dollar and Yields

Gold prices declined 1% to $4,335.97 per ounce as of Tuesday, deepening the metal's bear market. This marks a 22% drop from the record high of $5,594.82 per ounce at the end of January 2023. The recent sell-off was driven by a 0.5% strengthening of the dollar index and elevated U.S. Treasury yields, with 10-year Treasury yields rising to 4.384%. Spot silver also decreased by more than 3% to $66.93 per ounce. Investors are adjusting their positions amid shifting expectations for U.S. monetary policy due to persistent inflation, which reduces the likelihood of aggressive Federal Reserve rate cuts.
