Gold drifts lower at the start of a new week, though it shows resilience below $4,600. Inflation fears fuel hawkish central bank expectations and undermine the commodity. The lack of any follow-through selling warrants some caution for the XAU/USD bears.

Gold pulls back to $4,575 as a stronger US dollar and upbeat equities pressure prices ahead of key CPI data. Geopolitical tensions keep gold supported, limiting downside despite short-term profit-taking after recent highs. US CPI forecast at 0.3% MoM could strengthen the dollar further, posing near-term risks for gold prices.

Gold defends its bid tone near the $4,700 mark in the European session on Monday, lacking bullish follow-through buying. Reports suggest that Iran gave the ‌US a new proposal ​on ​reopening the Strait of ​Hormuz and ​ending the war, with ​nuclear negotiations ​postponed for a ‌later stage. This revives hopes for US-Iran peace talks and undermines the US Dollar's reserve currency status, which is seen as acting as a tailwind for the commodity.

Gold falls to around $4,600 on Tuesday, hitting a three-week low under bearish pressure. Uncertainty over US–Iran talks supports the US Dollar, weighing on prices. Still, expectations of a less hawkish Federal Reserve may help limit losses.

Gold retains its negative bias on Friday as rising US-Iran tensions continue to underpin the US Dollar. Inflation fears temper dovish Fed bets, further benefiting the buck and weighing on the commodity. The technical setup favors the XAU/USD bears and backs the case for a further depreciating move.

Investors monitored heightened tensions between the United States and Iran, with concerns over maritime security in the Strait of Hormuz, and stalled nuclear diplomacy.
