SGOL is trading at $39.47, down 3.33%, as higher Treasury yields raised gold’s opportunity cost.

  • President Trump’s rejection of Iran’s Hormuz proposal revived geopolitical risk, sending oil higher and sharpening inflation concerns; Brent rose above $106 per barrel.
  • Higher oil and resilient U.S. activity strengthened expectations for tighter-for-longer Fed policy; the 10-year Treasury yield reached its highest level since 2007.
  • Gold weakened broadly, consistent with SGOL’s bullion exposure.
