NEW YORK (Scrap Register): Potential interest rates are having a definite impact on the gold as some bull have been scared out of the market. 

In an interview with Bloomberg, Ben Ross, a portfolio manager at Cohen & Steers, said that the firm is now only market-weight the yellow metal, down from its previous position of over-weight. 

“Gold would get hit pretty hard in a rising rate environment. We’re market-weight right now, and the reason is the 10-year Treasury yield is starting to really move and being in gold scares us,” he said in the interview.
