Gold falls, and precious metals move lower in sync; a stalemate in US-Iran talks makes investors unwilling to chase prices

Gold has therefore fallen into a zone of technical uncertainty. Spot gold is down by about 0.7% to around $4,675 per ounce, retreating roughly 11% since the conflict at the end of February, while silver and palladium have also weakened.
