PAX Gold Surges as Macro Events Drive Gold Rally
PAX Gold (PAXG) has surged by 3.09% over the last 34 hours, following a rally in physical gold prices driven by macroeconomic events rather than specific news about PAXG.
The tokenized gold proxy is designed to track the price of underlying bullion closely, ensuring that on-chain prices mirror spot gold prices with minimal deviations due to crypto market liquidity or venue-specific frictions.
The primary drivers behind the gold rally are the U.S. Treasury's program to expand repurchases of longer-dated bonds, which has compressed yields and weakened the dollar.
This policy shift has reduced the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding gold, while a weaker dollar has lifted dollar-denominated bullion prices internationally.
