Gold Price Analysis: Difficult to ignore bearish trend in XAU/USD

It is challenging to make a case for gold in the rising Treasury yield environment. XAU/USD extended its downfall, changing hands at around $1,720 and strategists at OCBC Bank think the yellow metal may see further downside for now.
