■ U.S. Treasury Yields Draw Attention as a Key Variable for Gold Prices Meanwhile, in international financial markets, the movement of U.S. Treasury yields is drawing attention. Earlier, the 30-year U.S. Treasury yield soared to its highest level in about 19 years, weighing on stock markets, but market wariness eased somewhat after the U.S. Treasury announced measures to strengthen liquidity in the Treasury market.

The U.S. Treasury decided to expand the size of buybacks for long-term Treasuries from the existing 2 billion dollars per operation to at least 4 billion dollars. After the announcement, long-term yields came under downward pressure. The 30-year U.S. Treasury yield fell about 10bp during the session, coming down to around 5.18%. As the sharply risen long-term yields cooled off, investor sentiment in the New York Stock Exchange also showed signs of partial recovery.

In the gold market, the direction of U.S. Treasury yields is cited as one of the key variables. Markets are watching how U.S. long-term Treasury yields and the dollar's movements will affect international gold prices going forward.
