MarketWatch notes that strategists view yield curve control as a potential headwind for the U.S. dollar, which typically supports gold.

Gold trading has picked up renewed attention amid discussion of Treasury operations associated with Bessent, according to MarketWatch.

The outlet frames gold as closely tied to the U.S. dollar, stating that gold tends to move in the opposite direction of the currency.

MarketWatch also points to strategist consensus that yield curve control would be detrimental for the U.S. dollar, a dynamic that could help underpin gold demand.
