Key Takeaways:

*Gold posts fourth consecutive weekly decline

*Rising energy prices fuel inflation concerns and rate hike expectations

*Stronger dollar and higher yields weigh on bullion

Market Summary:

Gold prices extended losses for a fourth consecutive week, as rising energy prices intensified inflation concerns and reinforced expectations that global interest rates will remain elevated.

Higher inflation expectations have prompted markets to price in a more prolonged period of monetary tightening, with major central banks expected to maintain restrictive policy stances. Elevated interest rates typically weigh on non-yielding assets such as gold, reducing their relative appeal.

At the same time, the U.S. dollar remained firm, supported by higher Treasury yields. The dollar index — which tracks the greenback against a basket of six major currencies — has continued to gain momentum, adding further pressure on gold prices.

Geopolitical developments have also influenced sentiment. Optimism surrounding recent discussions between the United States and Iran has supported a modest risk-on tone in markets, dampening demand for safe-haven assets.

Donald Trump said the United States would extend a pause on potential strikes against Iran’s energy facilities into April, adding that talks between both sides were progressing “very well.” However, an Iranian official rejected the U.S. proposal as “one-sided and unfair,” highlighting the ongoing uncertainty surrounding negotiations.

Overall, the combination of rising yields, a stronger dollar, and tentative diplomatic progress has kept gold under pressure, although lingering geopolitical risks may continue to provide intermittent support.
