The macro environment for gold is currently defined by a tug-of-war between aggressive Fed hawkishness and high real yields, which pressure the price, and structural support from central bank buying and geopolitical uncertainty. While the immediate trend is challenged by the strong DXY and elevated 10Y real yields, gold's role as a hedge against persistent inflation and de-dollarization efforts prevents a deeper collapse.
