XAUUSD : Real yields continue to cast shadow over gold
The yellow metal rebounded mid-August from quite strong support on the 200-day moving average and the June low of 1890. This was associated with a brief reprieve lower in US real yields, also as data released in the second half of August failed to match up with overly optimistic expectations (the US Economic Surprise Index hit a two-year high at the end of July before cooling off).
With the US Federal Reserve unwilling to commit it is done with hiking rates, there is very little incentive for yields to fall meaningfully amid a resilient economy. Fed Governor Christopher Waller and Boston Fed President Susan Collins's comments reiterated the data dependency with regard to the path of monetary policy. The path of least resistance for yields remains sideways to up.
