Gold Falls Below $4,200 as US-Iran Conflict Escalates
- Gold dropped as much as 2%, falling below $4,200/oz and extending Tuesday’s losses.
- The decline came after the US launched strikes on Iranian targets following the downing of a US military helicopter near Oman.
- Iran responded with strong rhetoric, vowing that no attack would go unanswered and reportedly launched drone strikes targeting US assets in Bahrain.
- The renewed military confrontation is putting pressure on an already fragile ceasefire and raising concerns about prolonged disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz.
- Oil prices rebounded above $93/bbl, reigniting fears of higher inflation across major economies.
- Rising inflation expectations are leading investors to reassess the possibility of additional central bank tightening or delayed rate cuts.
- Higher interest rate expectations are creating headwinds for non-yielding assets such as gold.
- Gold has now fallen roughly 20% from levels seen before the Iran conflict erupted in late February.
- The break below the 200-day moving average has triggered additional technical selling from institutional investors.
- Analysts are now watching the $4,100/oz area as the next major technical support level.
