The 10-year US Treasury yields travelled above 4% on Friday, while the US dollar index neared 20-year highs after this week\u2019s macro data paving the way for more rate hikes by Fed.

In response, gold dropped below the $1,650 an ounce level, with December futures last trading at $1,643.87, down 1.74% on the day versus Thursday\u2019s closing price at $ 1666.00 per ounce. This is posing real danger for gold.

Gold market is not able to take a breath due to the dollar\u2019s strength. What makes this so tough is seeing the Japanese yen at levels lower than the Asian crisis and British pound in the midst of dealing with market financial stability risks.

The EUR\/USD pair is flat for the week and trading at around 0.9718 versus the previous close at 0.97763. Volatility remained throughout the first half of the week as market players awaited first-tier US events. The different announcements triggered some wild moves across financial boards but fell short of affecting the USD uptrend.

The GBP\/USD pair falls below 1.1200 due to political row in the UK. At the time of writing, the GBP\/USD is trading at 1.1177, below its opening price, after hitting a daily high of 1.1366. The British pound extends its loss amid two weeks of chaos around Liz Truss\u2019s mini-budget, which ended with replacing Finance minister Kwasi Kwarteng by James Hunt, as Truss struggles to calm the markets.
