Gold Price: $5164.30 ▲ 0.79%
Market Conditions: Risk-Averse Sentiment
Gold posted a sharp 0.79% gain amid a Nasdaq plunge of 1.02%, reflecting risk aversion intensified by tech sector stress and equity market margin calls. The US 10-Year yield held firm at 4.06%, maintaining a high opportunity cost that tempered gold’s upside, although stable GLD volume indicated measured institutional support. The mildly stronger dollar and ongoing equity weakness will be pivotal in defining gold’s next directional move.
