what happened
Gold dropped more than 1% as higher energy costs fed fears of renewed inflation, according to Market Talk. New York gold futures lost 1.1% to $4,103.20 per troy ounce.
Naeem Aslam of Zaye Capital Markets pointed to immediate support near $4,073 and resistance at $4,135. He said a firm recovery above that resistance could bring the $4,150–$4,169 zone back into view, while a decisive break below support would raise the risk of further losses.
Investors are now looking ahead to next week's Federal Reserve meeting, which may provide direction on the future path of monetary policy and its effect on bullion.
why it matters
Gold is sensitive to rate expectations: stronger inflation can support bond yields and reduce the appeal of a metal that pays no interest. The Fed's decision and commentary will therefore be a key reference point for precious metals markets in the coming week.
