Gold Resumes Decline
Gold prices fell toward $3,900 per ounce on Tuesday, surrendering gains from the previous session as oil prices rebounded following reports of a US strike on Iran’s Qeshm Island, heightening concerns over renewed inflationary pressures. Investors also turned cautious ahead of the US midterm elections, which will determine control of both chambers of Congress, with a potential Democratic takeover adding to market uncertainty. Meanwhile, renewed selling pressure in technology and artificial intelligence stocks further weighed on gold, as widespread liquidations across financial markets continued to affect precious metals. Investors also kept a close watch on developments in US-Iran negotiations for signs of diplomatic progress. An Iranian spokesperson said that "the ball is in the US court" regarding a potential agreement to end the conflict, while President Donald Trump stated in a social media post that Iran was eager to reach a settlement as soon as possible.
