Gold prices steadied on Tuesday after a sharp rally in the previous session, driven by fresh concerns over the US Federal Reserve’s independence following renewed pressure from the Trump administration on Chair Jerome Powell.
Bullion was trading around $4,588 an ounce after surging nearly 2% on Monday, as Powell described the threat of a potential criminal indictment as another attempt to undermine the central bank. The episode reignited the so-called “sell America” trade, with the dollar weakening and US Treasuries coming under pressure across the yield curve, reports Bloomberg.
