Treasury Yields Pressure Gold and Silver as Weak Jobs Data Offers Brief Relief, While Central Bank Buying, Chinese Demand and ETF Growth Help Keep Gold Above $4,000

Gold and silver faced another volatile week as the U.S. bond market remained a major headwind for precious metals, with rising Treasury yields and a stronger dollar weighing on prices.

Meanwhile, Rebecca Walser told Bloomberg that gold remains a key barometer of the dramatic expansion in global money supply.
