Spot gold falls to four thousand four hundred ninety-six dollars amid monetary policy concerns

Affected Assets

  • Spot gold prices fell to 4496.47 USD per ounce following a week of yield-driven selling that pressured the precious metals complex
  • The decline comes amid investor concerns that an energy-driven inflation shock could prompt global central banks to tighten monetary policy further
  • Federal Reserve minutes from recent policy meetings revealed that most officials still believe a rate increase could be warranted if inflation remains above the target
  • Despite the recent drop gold prices remain significantly higher than their levels from one year ago after hitting an all-time high of over 5600 USD in January 2026
