By FXStreet FXStreet (Mumbai) – Gold prices witnessed marginal gains in the US session, while the 2-year treasury yield trimmed gains after hitting near 5-1/2 year highs.

Eyes hourly 50-MA

At USD 1060/Oz levels, the metal is heading towards its hourly 50-MA located at USD 1063.08/Oz levels. Prices were trading dead flat in the European session around USD 1055/Oz levels as the the monetary policy sensitive two-year treasury yield clocked a high of 0.954%.

However, the yield has trimmed gains now to trade around 0.934%, thereby helping the metal gains some upside momentum. Meanwhile, the gains are still difficult to come as the USD index appears to have settled in the three figures.
