Rising bond yields have been a major factor in pushing precious metals prices down this week. The US 10 year treasury yield is currently at 2.803% up dramatically from 1.512% from the beginning of 2022. Uncertainty in markets has caused investors to pull cash out from commodities and stock markets and into the more secure bond market.

Another factor acting as an obstacle for precious metals over the last few weeks has been a rising US dollar. For the first time since the start of the pandemic, the US Dollar index (DXY) has surpassed the 100 level as it currently stands at 102.94. In the last 3 months alone, the DXY has risen from 95.38 to 102.94. Gold, being a dollar-denominated commodity, has suffered by consequence.
