Gold Prices React Mixedly to U.S. Extension of Iran Ceasefire Amid Market Uncertainty

Gold prices showed mixed movements following U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement to extend the ceasefire with Iran. One report noted gold gains supported by easing oil prices and reduced inflation concerns, while another highlighted a sharp gold price decline due to a stronger U.S. dollar, rising Treasury yields, and ongoing geopolitical uncertainties. Market reactions reflect investor caution amid unclear prospects for lasting peace and potential central bank interest rate policies.
