This week, the gold market faced pressure as rising U.S. Treasury yields and a stronger dollar weighed on spot prices, resulting in a slight weekly decline.

Analysts note that while the short-term technical trend appears bearish, gold has held key support levels and may see a new wave of gains driven by safe-haven demand and global economic uncertainties.
