Gold Prices Steady Amid U.S.-Iran Talks and Anticipation of U.S. Jobs Data
Gold prices remained steady as investors monitored conflicting reports on potential U.S.-Iran talks amid Middle East tensions. While U.S. President Donald Trump indicated ongoing negotiations, Iran denied such talks. Market participants awaited upcoming U.S. jobs data for insights into Federal Reserve interest rate decisions, which influence gold's appeal. Analysts noted that resolution of the conflict and normalized shipping through the Strait of Hormuz could affect gold prices later this year. South Korea also plans to increase its gold holdings.
