Credit Suisse recommends monitoring the rise of US Treasury yields and the monetary policy of the Federal Reserve. However, the Fed is highly unlikely to make bigger changes to its current policy. The regulator is now primarily focused on tackling the employment issue rather than slowing down inflation.

Notably, the US dollar has been quite steady for several weeks, although the Fed's monetary policy has not been the reason for it. Currently, the Fed is trying to revitalize the country's economy and boost inflation. These measures constrain the rise of the US currency but support gold.
