The gold market has been witnessing a steady trend as investors weigh the ongoing uncertainty surrounding US-Iran ceasefire negotiations against rising inflation concerns and expectations of tighter monetary policy. The current truce between the US and Iran is still being discussed, with key disagreements remaining unresolved, and any final agreement requiring approval from President Trump. This uncertainty has been a significant factor in the gold market, as the metal's traditional safe-haven appeal has been countered by higher crude oil prices, which continue to fuel inflation concerns.
