Gold is losing ground as traders focus on rising Treasury yields. Traders bet that Fed may be less dovish as the current crisis in Red Sea may boost inflation.

If gold declines below the nearest support at $2015 – $2025, it will move towards the next support level, which is located in the $1970 – $1980 range.
