Why is the Gold price moving today?
Gold prices are trending down amid higher US Treasury yields, and elevated crude prices are fueling inflationary concerns. Higher treasury yields increase the opportunity cost of holding non-interest-bearing assets like gold. Crude prices jumped above the $90/bbl mark as US President Donald Trump threatened to bomb Oman.

Key focus is on the FOMC minutes which will release tonight,” said Jigar Trivedi, seniro analyst at IndusInd Securities.
