Gold Corrects as Hormuz Risks Fuel Inflation Concerns

Gold prices corrected on Monday (April 20), pressured by a strengthening US dollar despite renewed US-Iran tensions. Fundamentally, gold's decline reflects the transmission of rising oil prices due to disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, which raised inflation concerns, then pushed up the dollar and US yields, thus reducing gold's appeal as a non-yielding asset.

On the geopolitical front, Reuters reported that tensions rose after the US seized an Iranian cargo ship and Tehran vowed retaliation and rejected further ceasefire negotiations—but the market continues to prioritize inflation and interest rate channels in shaping today's gold price. (gn)
