Gold bid dropped to $4157.80 at 15:42 UTC—down $24.20 on the day. The move reverses Monday’s $4204.50 close and extends the pullback from last week’s $4424.90 high. Volume remains elevated at 238,927 contracts, signaling active positioning.
The price now trades below all major moving averages in the eight-day bar series. The most recent bar opened at $4150.10 and dipped to $4145.20.
This weakness reflects USD strength and fading safe-haven demand. No central bank gold-related events are scheduled. Thursday’s US CPI and employment data will likely re-anchor inflation expectations—and shape near-term metal flows.
