Gold prices fell and hit a five-month low, as yields on US Treasuries were rising, with 10-year yields hitting their highest yield in 15 years at around 4.3%. The current rally in the US dollar index is another bearish factor that keeps gold sellers in control overall. For the last time, December gold fell $5.20 at $1,923.20.
