The gold price continues to decline for the seventh consecutive day on Tuesday, as the US Dollar strengthens and the US Treasury bond yields rise. This is due to positive signs of a resilient United States economy.
In September, the US ISM Manufacturing PMI showed improvement, rising from 47.6 to 49.0. This exceeded expectations of a reading of 47.9 and was driven by increased production and employment rates. Additionally, policymakers at the US Federal Reserve (Fed) reiterated their support for maintaining higher interest rates for an extended period of time. They emphasized that restrictive policy measures will be necessary in order to bring inflation back down to its target rate of 2%.
