The fall isn’t limited to domestic markets. International gold prices also slipped by $10, settling at $3,965 per ounce, while U.S. gold futures for December delivery dropped 0.9% to $3,964.50 per ounce.
Adding to the pressure, the dollar index eased by 0.2% after hitting a two-week high, making gold slightly more affordable for foreign buyers.
Market analysts say there’s little driving a rebound. “There’s no real catalyst for the rally other than a minor technical bounce,” said Kyle Rodda, analyst at Capital.com. “This week has largely gone against gold. The looming US-China trade deal removes trade and geopolitical tensions as a support for prices.”
Investors and gold buyers are now watching closely, as both domestic and global forces continue to shape the precious metal’s volatile journey.
