Gold Flat Above $4,100 as Weaker USD, Fed Hike Bets, Iran Risks Clash

Gold is trading sideways above $4,100 after a modest Asian session dip, supported by a weakening US dollar but capped by conflicting factors including Fed rate hike expectations and geopolitical risks from Iran.

XAUUSD

Gold (XAU/USD) is holding steady above the $4,100 mark on Friday, following a brief dip to the $4,109-$4,108 region during the Asian session. The precious metal lacks strong bullish momentum as a mix of opposing forces keeps prices in a narrow range.

The US Dollar continues to soften for a third consecutive day, supported by less hawkish-than-expected FOMC minutes released on Wednesday. This USD weakness typically supports gold prices. However, renewed expectations of Fed rate hikes are limiting upside potential.

Adding to the uncertainty, geopolitical tensions involving Iran are contributing to risk-off sentiment, further complicating the outlook for gold. The metal remains caught between a weaker dollar and headwinds from tightening monetary policy and safe-haven demand for the greenback.
