Analysts said that while gold prices have witnessed short-term volatility, the metal’s long-term outlook remains positive due to its traditional role as a hedge against inflation, currency depreciation, and geopolitical risks.
They added that ongoing geopolitical uncertainty and volatility in energy markets are likely to keep investor demand for gold supported in the coming months.
