Gold prices decline

Globally gold price is sitting near the highest level in five days above $2,050 in Asian trading on Monday, helped by a cautiously optimistic market mood, increased US Federal Reserve (Fed) bets for a March rate cut and a US holiday-led thin trading conditions, according to financial data platform FXStreet.

The U.S. dollar is experiencing fluctuations, as U.S. Treasury bond yields remain stagnant due to light trading activity on account of the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday in the United States.
