LIVE MARKET ALERT Gold prices held under moderate pressure in intraday trade, with spot levels hovering near 4068.2 per ounce, marking a decline of 0.59%. The metal eased as investors rotated toward higher-yielding assets amid stable U.S. dollar conditions and restrained safe-haven demand. Market participants kept volumes light while assessing evolving monetary cues and inflation prospects across major economies.
Momentum indicators pointed to subdued buying interest, as profit-taking persisted following the previous sessions of strength. Technical bias remained mixed, with short-term support zones monitored closely by traders looking for fresh directional confirmation. Despite the modest retreat, gold retained a relatively firm footing in broader terms, reflecting continued sensitivity to global rate expectations and geopolitical sentiment.
Key Drivers:
• Reduced safe-haven interest as equity sentiment stabilized.
• Steady U.S. dollar and shifting interest rate expectations limiting upside momentum.
