Why Are Prices Falling?
The drop in gold prices is linked to global instability and the war, which has disrupted crude oil supplies and pushed international oil prices above $100 per barrel.
This increase raises fears of higher inflation, prompting central banks to consider raising interest rates.
Additionally, the strengthening US dollar has drawn investors away from gold, as many are now turning to the dollar for safety.
