Gold prices have fallen to their lowest level since November 2025
Global gold prices fell by more than 3%, dropping below the $4,000-per-ounce mark. This is the lowest level for the precious metal since last November.
The main reasons cited for the decline are the strengthening of the U.S. dollar and growing expectations of further tightening of monetary policy by the U.S. Federal Reserve. Market participants are increasingly predicting an interest rate hike as early as this fall.
Since the beginning of the year, gold has lost about 5% of its value and nearly 20% from its record high in January.
Analysts note that even amid geopolitical tensions, gold has not yet been able to fully regain its status as the primary safe-haven asset for investors.

Global gold prices fell to their lowest level in the past 11 weeks amid a new exchange of blows between the U.S. and Iran, which simultaneously pushed up oil prices and heightened expectations of tighter monetary policy by major central banks.
