Update on gold price on the first day of the week

Hello traders, currently the price of gold today on August 21st continues to decline and reached a level of 1891 due to the increase in the US dollar and bond yields. The main reason is that gold is under pressure from the yield of US Treasury bonds and the increasing USD index. The yield on 10-year US Treasury bonds reached its highest level in 15 years. The USD index recorded its highest level in 9 weeks, closing at 103 points.

Therefore, bond yields are increasing due to the possibility that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will maintain high interest rates as they are now, not to mention that Fed may continue to raise interest rates in September. This creates a challenging environment for gold, which means that it will be difficult for gold prices to rise in the near future.
