What's causing gold to rally? The U.S. bond market, according to the head of research at Australian broker Pepperstone.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq COMP, -2.26% keeps setting new records, and gold is GC00, -0.55% on a roll, closing at its highest level since 2012. That is not the typical correlation, but then these aren’t typical times.
Gold is viewed by the market as a zero-coupon bond, so when inflation-adjusted Treasury yields head lower, the relative attractiveness of gold increases, Weston points out. He is bullish on gold — $1796 is his next target — but he says the clear risk to gold is higher real yields and, oddly, a selloff in equities could hurt the yellow metal if it causes dollar DXY, +0.44% strength.The recent spike in coronavirus cases was in the spotlight as the governor of Texas urged residents to stay home and let cities and counties impose stricter rules.
