LIVE MARKET ALERT Gold prices drift lower in intraday trade, with the metal quoted around 4890.2 per ounce, down 1.85%. The pullback highlights a more cautious tone across precious metals as traders reassess exposure to safe-haven assets in light of renewed strength in the domestic currency and steady movements in real yields.
Market activity points to mixed participation, as shorter-term traders trim positions amid moderate volume and a lack of fresh directional cues. Despite the decline, underlying demand for physical gold remains broadly stable, offering potential support should risk appetite weaken or inflation expectations resurface.
Key Drivers:
• Stronger domestic currency and stable bond yields weigh on safe-haven demand.
• Lack of new macroeconomic catalysts encourages position adjustments in short-term trading flows.
