Gold prices rose on Tuesday on hopes of de-escalation in the Middle East conflict but were poised for their worst month in more than 17 years as higher energy prices dimmed hopes for a US interest rate cut this year.
Gold prices rose on Tuesday on hopes of de-escalation in the Middle East conflict but were poised for their worst month in more than 17 years as higher energy prices dimmed hopes for a US interest rate cut this year.
Gold prices were slightly higher on Monday, helped by some tempering of rate hike expectations and fueled by a bout of bargain-hunting as the yellow metal heads for its biggest monthly drop in almost twenty years.
The Central Bank of Turkey sold 58 tons of gold worth over $8 billion in just two weeks, making it the single largest source of gold selling worldwide during that period.
Gold prices fell approximately 17% from their peak, marking the worst monthly drop in years. The sell-off is driven by shifting Fed rate expectations, a strong dollar, and central bank signals.
