Safe haven benefits from softer Fed bets
“Gold prices rose on Tue as expectations of an interest rate hike from the Fed this year eased, following an interim US-Iran peace deal that sent oil prices and inflation fears lower. Spot gold was up 0.8% at $4,338.97/oz after touching its highest level since 5 Jun on Mon.”
“US gold futures added 0.1% to settle at $4,354.40/oz.”
“The early rally was fueled by a continued slide in oil prices spurred by the prospect of a US-Iran agreement that re-starts Middle East exports via the Strait of Hormuz. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury note declined more than 3 bps to 4.43%.”
“US Treasuries held onto early gains on Tue, following a strong 20-year bond auction. The $13bn sale in 20-year bonds was strong, at a high yield of 4.927%.”
“Indirect bidders took down 73.2% of the auction, up from the recent average of 64.9%.”
