After falling 3.14 percent in August, the gold-to-dollar exchange rate remained nearly constant in September.The underlying picture remains grim, with central banks looking to raise interest rates in the second half of this year and early next year. Metals do not fare well in high-rate settings. Market indications continue to point to more aggressive central bank increases. In comparison to its September estimate, the IMF reduced its global growth forecast for 2021 by 0.1 percent, from 6.0 to 5.9 percent.Goldman Sachs has reduced its prediction for US growth.

In any event, higher Treasury rates and a stronger currency will depress the value of gold. It's tough to make a compelling fundamental case for gold right now. Future gold price variations are expected to be influenced by the Federal Reserve's effect on the US Dollar.

As a result, Treasury rates decreased, and the US dollar lost value in comparison to most other assets, including gold.
