On March 23rd, gold prices fell 2%, approaching $4,400, marking a new low since the end of 2025, with selling wiping out nearly all gains from early 2026. The Iran war and oil crisis are impacting gold price movements, with rising crude oil prices exacerbating inflation, central banks maintaining interest rates or even hiking them, and rising bond yields weakening gold's appeal, while a stronger dollar suppresses demand. Insufficient speculative momentum is accelerating the selloff, with the market showing clear disagreement on the outlook. $4,300 serves as a key support level; a break below could trigger accelerated selling. Analysts predict gold could potentially return above $5,000, but market risks and external impacts warrant caution.
