According to FXStreet, gold rose to around $4,010 at the start of the Asian session on Tuesday, snapping a two-day losing streak. According to investingLive, on Friday the metal fell below $4,000 for the first time since July, then returned above that level.
Markets were supported by lower oil prices: WTI fell 2.6% to $100.75 amid hopes for a US-Iran deal; according to investingLive, Trump refrained from striking Iran over the weekend. Cheaper oil is easing inflation concerns.
The impact on gold is mixed. Lower geopolitical risk usually reduces demand for safe-haven assets, but weaker inflationary pressure reduces fears of tighter Fed policy, which is favorable for a metal that does not yield income. One review also links gold's rise to weakness in the US dollar. Market attention is focused on decisions by the Fed and other central banks.
