The United States is close to reaching a deal to raise the debt ceiling. Late last week, President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy reached a tentative agreement to raise the debt ceiling, ending a long-running impasse that threatened to send the US government into default.
Both houses of the US Congress are expected to vote on the new deal this week after overcoming final hurdles.
US bond yields are gradually decreasing, thereby positively affecting gold prices.
However, the gold price increase was hindered by the continued rise of the USD. The DXY index - measuring the greenback's volatility against a basket of six major currencies in the world - increased from 104 points to 104.4 points.
A survey by the World Gold Council (WGC) shows that central banks' interest in gold also contributes to the increase in the price of precious metals.
Gold Price Forecast
Although forecast to be in a long-term uptrend, gold is currently under selling pressure as the USD is supported by signals that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) will raise interest rates at its June meeting.
Recent positive US economic data has investors betting that the Fed could raise interest rates next month.
Of which, US GDP in the first 3 months of the year increased by 1.3%, higher than the initial estimate of 1.1%.
Futures traders expect about a 66% chance of a quarter-point rate hike in June, according to the CME FedWatch Tool. That would mark the Fed's 11th consecutive rate hike.
