Gold trading is near a three-month high. Traders are investigating the next steps taken by the US Treasury after unexpectedly implementing bond intervention. This intervention has once again raised concerns about fiscal policy in the market. The price of gold rose slightly, approaching $4,680 an ounce. Since the US Treasury stepped up its long-term treasury bond repurchases, gold has been rising for four consecutive trading days, with a cumulative increase of more than 7%. This unexpected move has once again raised market concerns about rising borrowing costs, while putting downward pressure on the US dollar, and the price of gold denominated in US dollars has become lower for many buyers. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he is ready to expand the scale of repurchases of high-cost debt, but no further relevant signals were released on Monday. Investors will also look forward to Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Walsh speaking at the Jackson Hole annual meeting on Friday to clarify the Fed's position on how to deal with stubborn inflation.
