Gold has held above the $4,000 mark, supported by a mix of macroeconomic factors. Strong U.S. labor market data has reinforced expectations that the Federal Reserve may keep interest rates elevated for a longer period, typically a headwind for non-yielding gold.
At the same time, developments in U.S.-Iran peace talks are adding a layer of geopolitical uncertainty that can underpin safe-haven demand. Investors are balancing these conflicting signals as they assess the broader outlook for monetary policy and global stability.
