Gold cools after a 3.5% surge as profit-taking returns on easing USโIran risk
๐ก Spot gold slipped back toward the $4,180/oz area on June 12 after jumping around 3.5% overnight. The move does not yet suggest a full reversal, but rather a short-term adjustment after prices reacted strongly to geopolitical headlines.
๐ Risk appetite improved as markets priced in hopes that a potential USโIran agreement could ease tensions in the Gulf. Oil fell sharply, equities recovered, while gold faced profit-taking pressure after safe-haven flows had already pushed prices higher in the previous session.
โ๏ธ The pullback still looks relatively healthy in the broader context, as gold managed to hold most of its overnight gains after rebounding from multi-month lows. Buyers have not fully stepped away, but caution remains because Iran has not fully confirmed the deal and risks around Hormuz have not disappeared.
๐ฅ Silver followed a similar pattern, rallying more strongly than gold before easing slightly afterward. This shows precious metals are entering a short-term rebalancing phase after heavy volatility, rather than flashing a clear sell-off signal.
๐ In the near term, the $4,150โ$4,100 zone will be worth watching if profit-taking continues. On the other hand, if the deal faces setbacks or tensions return, gold could quickly retest the $4,250โ$4,300 area.
