significant Treasury yields continue to impose a significant opportunity cost that prevents gold from recovering at the rate of its recent upward trend, according to Simon-Peter Massabni, head of business development at xs.com.
“Yields were kept at their high peaks for the remainder of this year due to the return of skirmishes in the Middle East and growing pessimism regarding the future of Federal Reserve monetary policy,” he stated.
The market returned to favoring more pessimistic paths for interest rates after Kevin Warsh’s pessimistic remarks at Jackson Hole on Friday. According to CME FedWatch Tool data, the likelihood that the Fed will raise rates by more than half a percentage point is now close to 47%.
Warsh usually explained that the severe negative effects of high yields were revived because inflation risks are still large and monetary conditions are not tight enough.
According to Massabni, this story also got worse as the US and Iran resumed their conflicts, with the former attacking two missile launchers on Larak Island.
