1. Key Market Drivers
Macro & USD Headwinds: Gold is trading under slight selling pressure as the US Dollar Index holds near multi-month highs. High US Treasury yields continue to cap sharp bullish rallies.
Federal Reserve Outlook: Markets are in wait-and-see mode ahead of upcoming US CPI inflation data, with interest rate expectations weighing on non-yielding assets like bullion.
Geopolitical Cushion: Escalating tensions in the Middle East and broader geopolitical friction are providing a baseline safe-haven bid, preventing deeper sharp sell-offs.
