Why is the Gold price moving today?
Gold prices are trending sideways on the back of profit booking and a retreat in the US Treasury yields. The US Treasury Department announced it will more than double the repurchases of longer-dated notes as the 30-year yield surged to its highest level since 2007 on Tuesday.
A rise in yields increased the opportunity cost of holding non-interest-bearing assets like gold as investors divert towards interest-bearing assets like bonds and currencies.

Outlook for Gold Investors
Analysts suggest a bullish environment for gold, driven by inflationary concerns and heightened chances of a rate hike by the Fed. With the total US debt crossing the $40 trillion mark for the first time in history, markets remain cautious of a financial crisis.
“In line with the global trends, MCX Gold October is expected to experience a profit booking and Rs. 157,700/10g is a support for intraday today,” said Jigar Trivedi, Senior Research Analyst at IndusInd Securities.
