Gold prices closed lower on Monday, following robust gains during Friday’s session, as bond yields edged higher, putting pressure on the yellow metal.

Market drivers

Gold prices fell Monday as bond yields edged higher and investors focused on the chances for another rate hike from the Federal Reserve.

The U.S. dollar
DXY
edged up less than 0.1% at 102.0 against a basket of rival currencies on Monday, according to FactSet. Bond yields were also higher on Monday after last week’s jump in Treasury yields helped pull stocks lower.

Higher bond yields and a strong dollar can dull demand for gold. Several senior Federal Reserve officials recently said the door could be open to another hike of the central bank’s policy rate in September, in part due to the resilience of the U.S. economy, despite the highest Fed policy rate in 22 years.

“Fed rate hikes, to date, do not appear to be having the effect on the economy or the labor market that policy makers have been anticipating,” Mizuho Securities economists Steven Ricchiuto and Alex Pelle wrote in a Monday client note.

“After 525-550 basis points of rate hikes since March of last year, policy should already be dampening economic activity, especially after the regional bank failures between March and May,” they wrote.

New York Fed President John Williams on Monday told the New York Times that he feels the Fed is nearly finished with its campaign against inflation and that the central bank could start lowering rates again as soon as next year.

Fed governor Michelle Bowman said over the weekend that rates still need to rise higher to tame price pressures.

Investors will receive the next update on the state of U.S. inflation Thursday, when the consumer-price index for July is released. June data released last month spurred a rally in U.S. stocks after price pressures ebbed more quickly than economists had expected.

The 10-year Treasury

yield was up 2 basis points on Monday to 4.07%.
