THE BRIEF
1

Spot gold prices remained above the $4,500 mark on August 21, following a 3% surge triggered by the latest US Treasury announcements.

2

The price level represents a significant milestone, marking the first time gold has sustained this valuation since early June 2026.

3

Market analysts attribute the rally to declining bond yields and a weakening dollar, which have increased the appeal of gold as a safe-haven asset.
