LIVE MARKET ALERT Gold prices moved lower, with the metal quoted near 4935.4 per ounce, marking an intraday decline of 2.72%. The retracement comes as traders tempered earlier bullish momentum following renewed optimism across broader risk markets. Technical indicators suggested short-term profit-taking pressure after gold encountered resistance near recent psychological levels, leading to a modest pullback in spot values.
Market participants continue to monitor fluctuations in currency movements and bond yields, both of which have influenced intraday flows into precious metals. Despite the current drawdown, underlying demand for gold as a portfolio hedge remains intact, particularly amid ongoing uncertainty surrounding inflation dynamics and central bank policy direction.
Key Drivers:
• Profit-taking after recent highs pressured gold prices amid lighter safe-haven demand.
• Stronger currency movements and firmer yields reduced immediate appeal for non-yielding assets.
