New Delhi: A fall in gold was recorded in the international market on Saturday. As soon as the news of a possible peace agreement between America and Iran arrived, investors' confidence in "safe haven" gold was shaken. Along with this, expectations of improvement in consumer confidence in America and reduction in inflation also increased the pressure on gold.
Spot gold fell 0.3% to 4,201.61 dollars an ounce, according to Bloomberg. Silver also fell by 0.61%. Platinum and palladium were also trading with weakness. Experts are saying that there was a strong rise in gold as soon as the war started in late February. But now that hopes for peace have increased, investors are shifting towards riskier assets. In the last few days, gold has broken several important technical levels, which triggered further selling.

Market experts are keeping an eye on the talks between America and Iran. If a deal is reached between the two and geopolitical tension reduces, then there will be more pressure on gold. Rates may slip down. But if negotiations fail or uncertainty increases, investors will again run towards gold. Then the prices will go back up. Currently, gold is in "wait and watch" mode.
