Gold jumps to $1274 1-month high

Gold rose further during the American session and broke above $1270. It peaked at $1274.05/oz, the strongest level since April 25. It remains above $1272, consolidating important daily gains and also on top of the $1270 zone that has been an important resistance. 

From the lows, XAU/USD has risen more than $10, resuming the upside supported by a decline of the US dollar and rising Treasuries. The 10-year yield fell below 2.20% and moved closer to 2017 lows.
