Gold pulls back as traders focus on rising Treasury yields and stronger dollar. At the same time, gold gets some support from rising demand for safe-haven assets.
From the technical point of view, gold settled below the $1935 level and is moving towards the support at $1900 – $1910.
Silver
Silver found itself under strong pressure as traders reacted to the disappointing Services PMI report from China.
In case silver declines below the 200 MA at $23.45, it will head towards the support at $22.25 – $22.50.
