In global markets, US gold prices also saw a significant increase of nearly 2% on Friday, buoyed by a decline in US Treasury yields and the overall financial market. The escalating concerns about the fallout in the banking sector had a significant impact on banking stocks, which in turn led to increased interest in bullion considered a safe store of value during uncertain times. As a result, the spot gold prices rose by 1.8% to $1,863.46 per ounce, the highest since February 14. Similarly, US gold futures rose by 1.8% to settle at $1,867.20 per ounce. According to David Meger, director of metals trading at High Ridge Futures, the drop in yields was the main driver of the rise in gold prices.
