Gold trades near $4,157.20, down −4.70% for the week

XAU/USD has slipped further, now down −6.83% for the month as well.

The move extends a broader pullback that has taken hold across recent sessions.

Rising oil and surging yields are the key pressure points

Higher oil prices are reviving inflation fears, while the 10-year Treasury yield has climbed to its highest since June 2007 on weak auctions and Fed hike bets.

Both trends tend to weigh on non-yielding assets like gold.

Traders are watching the $4,110.87 to $4,315.80 range next

On the 4h chart, EMAs remain stacked bearishly and RSI 14 sits at 33, reflecting soft momentum.
