Gold Reclaims $4,522 After an American-Session Low at $4,456

Gold trades around $4,522 on Thursday, back above $4,500, after an American-session low of $4,456. That is the FXStreet 16:01 UTC stamp on the same page. Yields and the dollar are still recovering after Wednesday’s pullback on the Treasury long-end buyback. Friday’s Asian daily is the other live gold tape.

The same page says gold climbed over 4% on Wednesday after the Treasury said it would increase liquidity-support buybacks. In that reaction, the 30-year yield fell around 9 basis points to 5.18% and the 10-year dropped about 5 basis points to 4.63%. On Thursday both the 10-year and 30-year are up around 6 basis points. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Thursday the buyback could exceed $4 billion.

Dollar index around 98.80 after a 98.56 low

The dollar index fell below 99.00 on Wednesday to a three-month low. At press time on that page it trades around 98.80, recovering from an intraday low of 98.56, its weakest since 14 May.

Initial jobless claims fell to 206K, below 210K and a previous 212K revised from 209K, the same gold page writes. That is color. It is not a claims recut.

FXStreet writes the buybacks may ease pressure in the short term. They do not address large fiscal deficits, heavy debt issuance or persistent inflation risks, analysts warn. Those concerns, it says, still limit the downside in gold.
