Gold continues to react to a mix of global economic uncertainty and geopolitical developments. Investors worldwide still view gold as a hedge against inflation and market instability, which keeps demand resilient even during price pullbacks.
Unlike equities or fiat currencies, gold’s value is largely insulated from domestic policy decisions, making it especially attractive during periods of financial stress.
