Gold and silver prices slipped sharply on Monday, as rising global bond yields cooled investor appetite for non-interest-bearing assets, like precious metals. The sell-off also dragged major mining stocks lower in premarket trading.<\/p>\n

Gold futures<\/a> slumped 3.34% to $4,176.80, while spot gold<\/a> prices were off by 3.27% at $4,145.88 around 5:40 a.m. E.T.<\/p>\n

The downward moves come as investors continue to monitor inflationary pressures and the likelihood of further interest rate hikes from the Federal Reserve against a backdrop of surging government bond yields<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“If hikes bring inflation under control, gold faces sustained pressure,” Max Baecker, president of American Hartford Gold, said in a note Friday. “If inflation sticks or economic stress builds, demand for gold as a diversifier holds.”<\/p>\n

Baecker added that rates are “just one piece of the gold story,” noting how global central banks purchased a record 289 metric tons in the second quarter, which he sees as a longer-term reserve strategy separate from Fed rate decisions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gold and silver prices slipped sharply on Monday, as rising global bond yields cooled investor appetite for non-interest-bearing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":630003,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[260442,284830,941,114,357,284829,55842,22814,284828,224794,85,135053,46,190,2972,264002,55841,116963,214365,284831,263680],"class_list":["post-630002","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-gc26z","tag-si26z","tag-breaking-news-markets","tag-business","tag-business-news","tag-endeavour-silver-corp","tag-gold-us-dollar-spot","tag-gold-comex-dec25","tag-harmony-gold-mining-company-ltd","tag-hecla-mining-co","tag-il","tag-ishares-silver-trust","tag-israel","tag-markets","tag-prices","tag-sibanye-stillwater-limited","tag-silver-us-dollar-spot","tag-silver-comex-sep25","tag-silvercorp-metals-inc","tag-sprott-gold-miners-etf","tag-vaneck-junior-gold-miners-etf"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/630002","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=630002"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/630002\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/630003"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=630002"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=630002"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=630002"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
