Gold seems undervalued as yields should trade lower – OCBC

XAU/USD hit a high of $1950/oz at the start of last week, yet ended the week at $1850/oz. Rising Treasury yields could continue to pressure gold lower this week but strategists at OCBC Bank are not convinced yields should be trading at current levels in such a macro environment.

“Consider entry at $1820; take profit at $1920; stop loss at $1780.”
