  • In many respects, gold outperformed the USD bounce overnight, although safe haven demand emerged as US equity losses mounted.
  • Higher US yields today has likely weighed at the margin as well.
  • US real 10yr yields are now at 0.29%, not too far away from recent cyclical highs (0.34%). A move above 0.30% or higher could see gold test lower, although support is evident around $1840 and again around $1830 from the start of the month.
