36769 gold futures finish lower pressured by a rise in treasury yields

Gold futures finished lower on Tuesday, pressured by a rise in U.S. Treasury yields. The yellow metal saw a modest decline “while lacking any real longer-term direction,” said Craig Erlam, senior market analyst at OANDA. This is “perhaps a sign of the limbo investors find themselves in: recession risks but a hot economy, peace talks without any sign of peace,” he said. Still, “there remains plenty of appetite for a safe haven and inflation hedge.” June gold GCM22, -0.48% fell $6.50, or 0.3%, to settle at $1,927.50 an ounce.
