Dan Deming analyzes the recent price action in the metals markets, noting significant selling pressure for Gold futures to start the week. Following a recent two-week closing high, gold declined approximately 1.75% to hover near the 4,516 level, nearing the lower end of its recent six-month range. Deming identifies higher Treasury yields and a strengthening U.S. dollar—which moved back above 99—as primary headwinds driving the downward momentum. Additionally, he highlights broader dispersion across the metals sector, observing that while Silver futures also faced pressure, copper, platinum, and palladium maintained session strength.
