Gold surged 0.58 percent toward the $4,070 mark on Thursday as falling US Treasury yields and easing geopolitical tensions provided strong support for the precious metal. The rally comes after Washington temporarily halted attacks on Tehran while President Donald Trump signaled openness to resuming negotiations with Iran, reducing immediate safe-haven demand but boosting bullion through lower yields.

The declining Treasury yields make non-yielding assets like gold more attractive to investors, offsetting some of the reduced geopolitical premium. Traders and asset managers are closely monitoring the diplomatic developments while positioning for continued gold strength in a lower-yield environment.

This move extends gold’s remarkable run in 2025, with XAU/USD consolidating gains near historic highs. Market participants should watch for any escalation in Middle East tensions or shifts in Federal Reserve policy expectations that could impact Treasury yields and gold’s trajectory.
