Gold is currently caught between a rock and a hard place, with hawkish Fed policy and rising real yields acting as significant headwinds. While central bank buying and geopolitical tensions provide a solid floor, the metal is struggling to regain momentum below its 50 and 200-day moving averages. Watch for any shift in Fed rhetoric or a cooling in real yields to see if gold can reclaim its recent highs.
