After starting this week around the US$1,780 per ounce mark, the yellow metal nearly reached US$1,800 mid-week. Experts have pointed to lower US 10 Year Treasury yields as at least part of the reason for gold’s uptick during the period. Yields sank below 1.6 percent, and some market watchers have suggested that a fall below 1.5 percent could push gold over the key price of US$1,800. “What’s obviously underpinning the upswing (in gold) is the dynamic in US Treasuries … which is sort of pushing lower in the very short term,” analyst Kyle Rodda of IG Market told Reuters.
