Spot gold remained under pressure today, trading near $4,116.80 per ounce. Although safe-haven demand has edged higher, hawkish expectations of a potential Federal Reserve rate hike later this year\u2014with next week\u2019s FOMC meeting fast approaching\u2014continue to cap upside momentum, limiting buyers\u2019 appetite at elevated levels and leaving gold in a consolidated tug-of-war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\">In contrast to gold&#8217;s sluggish consolidation, energy markets were ignited by intensifying concerns over supply disruptions. WTI crude oil traded firmly near $98.29 per barrel, touching a five-month high intraday. Heightened risks around critical energy infrastructure and Gulf shipping lanes, combined with high-level regional security talks and elevated defense postures, have pushed fears over oil transportation safety and output outages to a peak. In the short term, bullish momentum in the crude market remains highly robust, with prices poised to test higher levels if supply risks escalate further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>An\u00e1lisis fundamental y rendimiento del mercado de activos m\u00faltiples<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>1.
