2017.06.2122:32:00UTC+00Gold Climbs as Treasury Yields Hit Near 10-Year Low

Gold prices rose Thursday as the US dollar's easing made the Treasury yields hit its lowest in almost a decade.

The curve of the Treasury yield straightened to almost 10-year troughs as investors assessed how the Federal Reserve's hawkish tool shaped the economy but inflation measures are slumping. The greenback tumbled from a one-month peak versus a bunch of currencies.

US gold futures for August settlement traded at $1,253.10 an ounce, up 0.6%. Spot gold stood at $1,251.91 an ounce, up 0.5%. Earlier, it gained 0.3%, its biggest intraday percentage change since June 6.

Meanwhile, the holdings of SPDR Gold Trust climbed 0.4% to 853.98 tonnes, previously 853.68 tonnes.
