Amy Gower said gold is facing significant near-term pressure from rising long-dated bond yields and a stronger dollar, noting that as a nonyielding asset it becomes less attractive when investors can earn higher returns elsewhere. Even so, she argued that gold remains well supported because the metal is still trading above $4,000 an ounce, suggesting other forces are offsetting those headwinds.

For a closer look, we speak with Joe Deaux, Bloomberg News Senior Reporter for Corporate & Economic Statecraft. (Source: Bloomberg)
