Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The sell-off is attributed to higher oil prices, which have fueled inflation fears, and the increased probability of further interest rate hikes in the U.S. market. Analysts suggest this environment raises the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding gold.

Market volatility is currently driven by geopolitical tensions, including attacks in the Middle East, prompting the Federal Reserve to evaluate its stance on inflation and interest rates.
