Market Insights
Analysts attribute the recent decline to profit-taking and global economic uncertainty, as traders anticipate potential interest rate adjustments by major central banks.
“The gold market is facing short-term corrections driven by global monetary tightening and currency strength, though long-term fundamentals remain bullish,” said a local bullion trader.
With volatility in both global and local markets, experts suggest that prices could continue to fluctuate in the coming days.
