Gold is not trading on geopolitics or inflation in isolation. One of the more useful signals comes from watching how gold behaves relative to US Treasury yields and the US dollar.

Under a conventional rates move, higher Treasury yields tend to support the dollar and pressure gold. The more interesting setup emerges if longer-term US yields continue rising while the dollar begins falling. That divergence can signal that investors are interpreting higher yields as something more serious than a straightforward monetary-policy repricing.

The video breaks down how to distinguish those two environments and why the relationship between yields, USD and precious metals can be more informative than watching gold on its own.
