Gold (XAU/USD) lacked a clear directional bias over the past week. A weakening US dollar, which typically supports bullion, was countered by heightened geopolitical risk stemming from an expanding conflict in the Middle East.
The result was a consolidation phase with neither bulls nor bears gaining a clear upper hand. Market participants will watch for any shifts in these opposing forces to determine the next move.
