Gold Prices Decline as US-Iran Talks Stall and Oil Prices Rise Amid Inflation Concerns

Gold prices declined amid stalled U.S.-Iran peace talks, which have driven crude oil prices higher and raised inflation and interest rate hike concerns. The strengthening U.S. dollar further pressured bullion. China’s gold production fell due to safety inspections, while Indian demand softened as buyers awaited lower prices. U.S. President Donald Trump rejected Iran’s peace proposal, prolonging tensions that tighten global energy supplies and influence monetary policy expectations.
