Market Sentiment & Drivers

Dollar Strength

• The U.S. dollar strengthened further as global investors moved toward cash-based safe-haven assets
• A stronger dollar has made gold relatively expensive for non-dollar buyers, adding pressure on demand and limiting upside momentum

Inflation & Interest Rates

• Rising crude oil prices, driven by Strait of Hormuz supply risks and geopolitical tensions have reignited inflation concerns
• Markets are now pricing in the possibility of “higher for longer” interest rates from major central banks, which reduces appeal for non-yielding assets like gold

Safe-Haven Shift

• • Although gold is traditionally considered a defensive asset, recent capital flows have shifted toward the U.S. dollar and energy commodities
  • Investors are prioritizing short-term liquidity and energy-linked hedges over bullion amid ongoing geopolitical instability in West Asia
