🟡 Gold Consolidates Near $5,000 Amid Mixed Signals
Global gold prices are trading just below the $5,000-per-ounce level, caught between geopolitical risk support and hawkish undertones from the latest U.S. Federal Reserve meeting minutes.
• Geopolitical tensions — including potential U.S.–Iran conflict risk — continue to underpin safe-haven demand for gold, helping limit deeper losses.
• FOMC minutes showed Fed officials were divided about future rate cuts, supporting the U.S. dollar and Treasury yields — which weighs against non-yielding gold.
• In some markets, gold has later reclaimed levels just above $5,000 as risk assets remain volatile amid macro uncertainty.
Market Insight:
The tug-of-war between safe-haven buying and stronger U.S. dollar dynamics is keeping bullion in a narrow range near the psychological $5,000 mark. Investors are now focused on upcoming U.S. data that could sway central-bank rate expectations and bullion flows.
