Gold
Gold remains under strong pressure as Treasury yields move higher. Demand for safe-haven assets declined after U.S. President Joe Biden said that U.S. would not default, which was bearish for gold markets.
A move below the support at $1950 will push gold towards the next support level at $1930. If gold declines below this level, it will head towards the support at $1900.

Silver has also tested new lows amid a broad sell-off in precious metals markets. The strong dollar and higher yields put material pressure on silver in today’s trading session.
If silver settles below the support at $23.50, it will move towards the support level at $23.25. A successful test of this level will push silver towards the $22.90 level.
