Gold prices experienced a slight decline during early trading in the Asian market, coinciding with a modest rise in US Treasury yields, which typically reduces the appeal of the non-yielding asset. Sherilyn Chew from DBS Group Research commented, "Gold's performance is expected to be largely dictated by yield movements. In the absence of a clear downward shift in interest rates, this could cap any significant near-term upside." The multi-asset strategist added, "ETF holdings and speculative positions are relatively light, with investors largely staying on the sidelines amid skepticism about immediate upward potential." Spot gold was down 0.1% at $4,538.27 per ounce.
