Gold Strengthens, But Yields and the Dollar Remain a Hold
Gold strengthened due to a combination of safe-haven demand and bargain hunting following the previous sharp correction, particularly when markets returned to the defensive amid geopolitical escalation and cross-asset volatility. When conflict risks increase, some investors increase their hedge fund holdings, and gold typically supports this, although its recent performance has not always been a "pure" safe-haven asset.
However, gold's rally remains heavily influenced by macroeconomic channels: high oil prices can lift inflation expectations and lead markets to believe central banks will keep interest rates tight for longer. This limits gold's upside because gold offers no yield, and the opportunity cost rises when yields strengthen. (alg)
