LIVE MARKET ALERT Gold traded at 4681.1 per ounce, slipping 2.24% in intraday dealings as traders positioned around evolving risk sentiment. The metal’s pullback reflects light profit-taking after a period of steady bullion demand, while a firmer tone in equity markets and modest fluctuations in Treasury yields limited safe-haven inflows.
Market participants continue to monitor cross-asset correlations for direction. A stronger dollar and incremental shifts in rate expectations have kept gold confined within a narrow trading band, with physical demand offering partial support. Traders remain attentive to potential catalysts that might reframe the balance between inflation anxiety and real yield dynamics.
Key Drivers:
• Dollar strength weighed on non-yielding assets, curbing gold’s upward momentum.
• Subdued safe-haven demand amid stable risk sentiment added to downward pressure.
