Investor sentiment remained affected by the ongoing struggles faced by regional banks in the US. Additionally, the XAU/USD saw a decrease in demand due to a rise in the US Treasury bond yields. The yield on the US 10-year Treasury bond increased by four basis points, currently standing at 3.447%. However, it is still lower than the levels seen at the beginning of the week, which were at 3.568%.
Currently, the possibility of a 25 basis points rate hike by the US Federal Reserve in May has reduced. The probability of this happening is 76.1%, which is lower than the previous week's 83.3% chance.
