• The key resistance level is still $1788.50. Continue to look for a downside bias as long as gold remains under this level.
Gold futures are trading lower late in the session on Thursday as U.S. Treasury yields jumped following the release of an upbeat report on the U.S. economy.
Treasury yields reversed yesterday’s weakness early in the session after U.S. President Joe Biden’s proposal of trillions of dollars in new spending and data showing U.S. economic growth accelerated in the first quarter. Higher yields increase the opportunity cost for holding non-yielding bullion.
At 19:20 GMT, June Comex gold futures are trading $1772.50, down $1.40 or -0.08%.
Yields surged and gold prices plunged shortly after the regular session opening after a government report showed economic activity surged to start 2021. The U.S. Commerce Department said first-quarter gross domestic product rose 6.4%, compared to the 6.5% expected by economists polled by Dow Jones.
