Gold falls below $1,970 as US yields rebound.

The price of gold fell below $1,970 on Tuesday as the 10-year US Treasury bond yield initially dropped over 1% but then turned positive, reaching 4.84% in the latest update. This yield movement influenced XAU/USD.

The US Dollar Index (DXY) continued its four-day losing streak at around 105.50. A decline in US bond yields could keep the US Dollar weaker, potentially supporting gold prices to reach the $2,000 mark.

While geopolitical tensions between Israel and Hamas often boost gold’s appeal as a safe-haven asset, current efforts to ease tensions and a risk-on sentiment may pose challenges. There are discussions within Israel regarding the potential scope of a ground invasion of Gaza.

Additionally, the week ahead is data-packed, with a focus on the US S&P Global PMI on Tuesday, Q3 Gross Domestic Product (GDP) figures on Thursday, and the Core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) on Friday.
