Gold futures slide as market turmoil eases and investors take profits. Futures are down 1.5% at $3,282.70 a troy ounce, though they remain up 22% in the year to date. There is a general sense of calm in the markets, with Treasury yields sliding and equity markets rebounding, SP Angel analysts say in a note. Reducing trade tensions between the U.S. and China, alongside rising hopes of a Russia-Ukraine peace deal, are reducing safe-haven demand for gold, SP Angel says. Exchange-traded funds are reporting gold outflows, further reinforcing expectations that profit-taking is driving gold lower, analysts write. That said, the U.S. economy is showing further signs of slowing and Chinese retail investors are seeking haven assets given a persistent property market contraction and depreciating currency, SP Angel adds.
