Gold prices may face headwinds from strong dollar, rising yields

Gold ended last week on a lower note, dropping to a two-week low due to a stronger dollar and higher bond yields, said Prathamesh Mallya, DVP- Research, Non-Agri Commodities and Currencies, Angel One. The dollar surged to a near two-month peak, making gold more expensive for non-dollar holders, while U.S. 10-year yields reached a near two-week high.
