Sign InAmid technical shifts exerting downward pressure on safe-haven assets, Gold recorded a 2.5% weekly decline, marking its second consecutive week in the red. According to reports, the precious metal managed a slight bounce on Friday, though this recovery was insufficient to offset accumulated losses or reverse the broader negative trend that dominated the week's trading.
This decline comes as Gold faces additional headwinds from a technical 'death cross' pattern, which has strengthened bearish sentiment among retail traders. In comparison to peer assets, market data showed relative stability in bond yields, while commodities broadly reacted to recent US inflation data which saw the annual CPI rate cool to 3.5% as of July 14, 2026.
Looking ahead, investors are closely monitoring key support levels to gauge Gold's resilience against sustained bearish momentum. On the macro front, the market is awaiting upcoming speeches from Federal Reserve officials, including Bowman and Waller, for further clues on the monetary policy path and its impact on the non-yielding metal's appeal.
