LIVE MARKET ALERT Gold prices traded softer at $4,422.8 per ounce, marking a decline of 1.88% as intraday sentiment shifted toward risk assets. The move reflected reduced safe-haven demand amid modest strengthening in the U.S. dollar and continued adjustment in expectations for interest rate trajectories. Despite the pullback, bullion remains within its broader consolidation pattern as traders evaluate longer-term macroeconomic trends.
Momentum indicators pointed to light profit-taking after recent gains, while volume remained moderate. Some participants maintained a cautious stance, awaiting fresh macro catalysts that could redefine positioning across precious metals. The technical structure suggests that immediate support could emerge near recent congestion zones, with resistance aligned with previous intraday peaks.
Key Drivers:
• Softening safe-haven demand due to improving risk sentiment.
• Stronger U.S. dollar creating headwinds for non-yielding assets.
