Gold prices are trading today at around 2030.
Gold prices rose on Friday but were on track for their worst week in six, as the dollar and bond yields firmed after US central bankers pushed back against expectations of early interest rate cuts, Reuters reported.
Gold continues to receive support above the $2000 mark, driven by the demand for its safe-haven attributes amid increasing global tensions. Escalating conflicts in the Middle East, the Red Sea, Taiwan-China, and Russia-Ukraine contribute to the ongoing support for gold.
