On Friday, gold maintained its position above $1,930 per ounce; however, it remained on track for a weekly decline due to the influence of a robust dollar and increasing Treasury yields. These factors have been accentuated by a succession of robust US economic data throughout the week.

In the meantime, on Thursday, the Bank of England raised its policy rate by 25 basis points and cautioned that the elevated borrowing expenses would probably endure for a considerable duration. Simultaneously, a representative from the European Central Bank advocated for maintaining the current elevated level of ECB's interest rates for an extended period.

Gold prices have declined more than 1.3% so far this week, having slipped to July 11 lows on Thursday as long-term U.S. Treasury yields climbed to their highest since November after employment and other economic data pointed to easing inflation.
