Gold Falling as Bond Yields And Dollar Rise in on Inflation

Gold prices fell on Monday, April 12th, under pressure from rising US Treasury bond yields and the dollar, after better-than-expected US economic data increased the possibility of a rise in the rate of inflation.

This fell in the spot market 0.4% to 1735.90 dollars an ounce. And gold fell in futures trading in the United States 0.4% to 1737.10 dollars an ounce.

The dollar index rose 0.1% against its rivals, which increases the cost of gold to buyers outside the United States.

In terms of other precious metals, silver fell 0.9% to $ 25.02 an ounce, as palladium lost 0.3% to $ 2630.68, and platinum lost 0.8% to $ 1189.01.
