Market factors behind the decline

Analysts linked the decline to global economic uncertainty and shifting geopolitical developments, especially US–Iran tensions and diplomatic signals.

At the same time, markets reacted to mixed messages about the ceasefire between the United States and Iran. Optimism about a possible diplomatic deal also influenced sentiment.

One analyst noted that expectations of stability can temporarily reduce demand for safe-haven assets like gold.

Outlook remains positive

Despite short-term price pressure, analysts still expect long-term strength in gold.

They point to its limited supply and role as a hedge against inflation and currency weakness. During periods of global instability, investors often return to bullion, which supports long-term demand.
