At the beginning of the new trading week, gold quotes are showing a decline against the background of an increase in the yield of US government bonds and the strengthening of the dollar. The current spot price of the precious metal is $1,764.45 per ounce. On Monday, the yield on 10-year US Treasury bonds rose to 1.6116%, and the dollar index against a basket of major world currencies rose by 0.2%, which increased the value of gold for holders of other currencies. An expensive dollar, as a rule, is more attractive as a reliable asset (due to rising inflation, increasing expectations that the Fed will begin to curtail incentives or even announce the timing of a rate hike next year). In addition, market participants today drew attention to statistics from China, which indicated a slowdown in the country's economic growth to a minimum for the year in the third quarter. And against the backdrop of slowing economic activity in China, the dollar is expected to grow, and gold will become cheaper. Silver fell to $23,290 today, palladium – to $2,020.50, and platinum showed a decline to $1,042.19 per ounce.
