Gold Price: $5247.90 ▲ 1.03%
Market Conditions: Yield-Supportive Environment
Gold surged 1.03%, supported by a 5.5 basis point drop in the 10-Year Treasury yield to 3.96% and significant weakness in the Nasdaq, highlighted by a sharp decline in Microsoft shares. GLD ETF volume remained subdued but steady, reflecting stable institutional engagement during this market repricing. The moderate DXY uptick did not blunt gold’s advance amid rising risk aversion.
