Gold Dips Below $4,200 as Hawkish Fed, Iran Tensions Lift Dollar

Gold extended its decline for a third straight session on Friday, slipping below $4,200 and hitting a fresh weekly low, pressured by a stronger US dollar amid hawkish Federal Reserve expectations and escalating uncertainty over Iran.

XAUUSD

Gold (XAU/USD) continued its downward trend on Friday, weakening further below the $4,200 mark and reaching a new weekly low during Asian trading. The precious metal has now fallen for three consecutive sessions.

The selling pressure stems from a broadly stronger US dollar, which is being supported by a hawkish stance from the Federal Reserve and rising geopolitical uncertainty surrounding Iran. These factors have dampened demand for gold as a safe-haven asset.

Traders will be watching for any further cues on Fed policy or developments in the Iran situation that could influence the dollar's trajectory and gold prices in the near term.
