Gold Price: $3998.90 ▼ 0.17%
Market Conditions: Consolidation Phase
Gold held steady with a 0.17% increase near $4,000 amid elevated 10-Year yields at 4.57% that keep opportunity costs high. Silver’s sharp decline and Microsoft’s tech sell-off highlight contagion risks, while stable DXY limited further hawkish pressure. GLD ETF flows signaled cautious institutional engagement in this quiet yet positioning phase.
