Gold prices are currently under significant pressure, driven by heavy selling from Commodity Trading Advisors (CTAs), alongside surging real interest rates and a stronger US Dollar, according to FX Street.

For Japanese investors, this dynamic is particularly relevant as fluctuations in the US Dollar and interest rates continue to influence commodity markets and cross-border investment strategies.
