LIVE MARKET ALERT Intraday trade saw gold prices move slightly lower, with spot values hovering near 4,503.3 per ounce, reflecting a decline of 0.86%. The metal traded within a narrow range as investors adjusted positions following sustained momentum in previous sessions. A modest pullback in safe-haven demand and profit-taking contributed to the softer tone across the bullion market.
Market participants continued to weigh macroeconomic signals and positioning in related asset classes. While interest rate outlooks and currency fluctuations kept traders cautious, ongoing uncertainties in broader risk sentiment provided underlying support for gold, limiting deeper intraday losses.
Key Drivers:
• Reduced safe-haven flows amid steadier equity performance tempered buying interest.
• Currency and interest rate expectations continued to influence short-term speculative positioning in bullion.
