Urgent: Gold falls towards the 1900s... after shocking data

Gold's declines coincided with the decline of the dollar, as the main dollar index fell below the 99-point levels, coinciding with the rise of the euro, sterling and the Australian dollar.

On the other hand, the yield on US 10-year Treasury bonds declined, but it is still trading near its highest level since July 2019, more than two years.
The yield on US 10-year treasury bonds decreased slightly in the range of 0.041 to 2.03%. In contrast, the yield on treasury bonds in Germany, Britain, Spain and Britain decreased by 0.03%, 0.047%, 0.032% and 0.018%, respectively.
