* Treasury yields retreat as oil prices drop and technical support attracts buyers. * Inflation concerns persist after strong U.S. producer price data and Middle East conflict. * Retail sales rise, jobless claims steady, Xi warns Trump on Taiwan tensions. By Karen Brettell.
Gold edged higher early Thursday as treasury yields eased after a report showed U.S. retail-sales growth slowed in April. Gold for June delivery was last seen up $4.00 to US$4,710.70. The U.S. Census Bureau reported retail sales roes by 0.5% last month, down from a revised 1.6% in March but matching expectations according to Marketwatch.
* Dollar supported by rising U.S. Treasury yields and Fed rate hike expectations. * Trump-Xi summit focuses on trade progress, Taiwan tensions highlighted by Xi. * U.S. inflation data boosts rate hike bets, Fed Chair Warsh seen tightening policy. By Rae Wee and Amanda Cooper.
Investors are bracing for U.S. Treasury yields to stay higher longer, skeptical that incoming Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh will be able to tame inflation stoked by surging oil prices during a prolonged Middle East conflict. Long-dated yields, including those on benchmark 10-year notes, have spiked as investors demand greater compensation for inflation risk as higher energy prices bite.
The dollar rose for a fourth day on Thursday, underpinned by higher U.S. Treasury yields, as investors began to price in the chances of Federal Reserve rate hikes this year, while the global focus was on a two-day summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and China's Xi Jinping.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.
Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
