LIVE MARKET ALERT Gold prices eased to 5064.8 per ounce, down 0.47%, as market participants trimmed positions amid subdued risk appetite. The retreat came as the U.S. dollar found renewed strength, reducing the appeal of non-yielding metal holdings. While underlying demand for safe-haven assets remains intact, short-term consolidation dominated trading flows within the metal complex.
Analysts noted that sentiment toward gold remains sensitive to U.S. rate expectations and broader economic signals. A more stable dollar or any indication of easing inflation pressures could provide a floor for prices, while sustained tightening prospects may encourage further selling pressure. Investors continue to monitor institutional flows and ETF activity for cues on near-term momentum.
Key Drivers:
• Stronger U.S. dollar dampening demand for gold
• Traders locking in profits amid cautious market tone
