14/05 Spot Gold Price Analysis

Fundamental Analysis
On 13 May, the U.S. dollar fluctuated slightly and stayed near this week’s high. The market weighed the risks of economic reopening and lasting longer. The increase in U.S. 10-year treasury yields put pressure on the U.S. dollar index, and the U.S. index fell back after reaching the resistance level. Tai Wong, Head of Metal Derivatives Trading of BMO Capital Market, said that although the PPI growth rate was higher than expected, this situation was completely expected after yesterday’s CPI data. People are relieved, and U.S. treasury yields and dollar index fell, which boosted gold. In addition, the road to a full recovery of the global economy may not be smooth, many countries with higher inflation rates may promote the throughput of gold in the region of hedge demand.
