Expert Insights: Anticipated Volatility
As per insights from market analysts, Praveen Singh, head of commodities at a financial services firm, noted that after a nine-day decline, spot gold is stabilizing around $4,420 per ounce in international markets. This stability comes amid cautious expectations regarding the ongoing conflict in Iran, especially following a five-day ceasefire announced by US President Donald Trump concerning attacks on energy installations. Nevertheless, uncertainties about the ceasefire's effectiveness have left investors wary. Experts predict that gold prices may continue to experience fluctuations due to persistent geopolitical uncertainties and mixed signals from global developments.
