Gold futures closed lower on Monday after rising for two consecutive trading sessions. Over the weekend, renewed tensions between the US and Iran drove up oil prices, sparking concerns about rising inflation and interest rates, thereby putting pressure on the zero-yield asset gold.

The two countries, after a series of conflicts, ultimately agreed to pause recent hostilities—earlier exchanges of fire had threatened to derail negotiations aimed at ending the conflict.

Geopolitical tensions that pushed up energy prices intensified market worries about inflation and rising interest rates, which usually weigh on gold, an asset lacking interest yields.

Meanwhile, the US Dollar Index recorded its largest single-month gain in almost a year, further pressuring gold. A stronger dollar makes dollar-denominated gold more expensive for overseas buyers.

ADM Investor Services stated in a report: "Gold prices remain under pressure as traders take a wait-and-see stance regarding the outlook for US-Iran negotiations, while the recent escalation in tensions has once again raised the risk of rising energy prices."

Goldman Sachs Co-Head of Global Commodities Research Samantha Dart said in a report, "A hawkish Federal Reserve is weakening the theme of currency depreciation," and the market is already pricing in another Fed rate hike this year due to inflation concerns. Although short-term headwinds remain, "the rally in gold is not yet over." "We remain bullish on further gains in gold prices, driven by both structural and cyclical factors."

Dart wrote: "From a structural perspective, the diversification by emerging market central banks since the Russian Central Bank freeze in 2022 remains the core logic behind our $4,900/oz year-end 2026 gold price target."

Goldman Sachs also cited a recent World Gold Council survey noting that, among 76 central banks surveyed between February and May, a record 45% expect to further increase their gold reserves in the next 12 months.

Comex near-month gold futures (July delivery) fell 1.4% on Monday to close at $4,022.30 per ounce; the near-month silver contract fell 1.7% to close at $58.175 per ounce, with both settling at their second-lowest levels of the year.
