Gold prices fell as much as 2.5% to below $5,050 an ounce, pressured by a stronger US dollar and concerns over higher interest rates due to rising oil prices linked to the West Asia conflict.
Gold (XAU/USD) fell over 1.5% to $5,090 as WTI oil surged more than 30% amid shipping disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, lifting the US Dollar and pressuring bullion.
Gold dropped nearly 3% to around $5,015 per ounce, marking its first weekly decline in over a month, as surging oil prices and a stronger US dollar raised concerns about potential Federal Reserve rate hikes.
