Gold Prices Correct Amid Rising US Yields; Mirae Asset Sees Buying Opportunity Below 4,200
Gold prices have declined significantly in 2026, with a 24 percent correction from January highs attributed mainly to rising US Treasury yields and expectations of Federal Reserve tightening. Despite near-term volatility, Mirae Asset Mutual Fund remains optimistic about gold's medium- to long-term prospects, citing strong central bank demand and ongoing de-dollarisation as key structural supports. The fund suggests levels below 4,200 per ounce may offer a buying opportunity, while noting that gold retains much of its previous gains despite recent weakness.
