Although spot gold surged more than 2% on Tuesday due to a weaker US dollar, briefly reaching around $4,837.70 per ounce, market sentiment is shifting alongside the latest developments in regional tensions. Expectations that talks aimed at resolving localized conflicts may resume soon have weakened the previously strong safe-haven premium supporting gold prices. This has not only capped further upside in precious metals but also triggered profit-taking near key resistance levels, leading to a short-term reshuffling between bullish and bearish forces.<\/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\">Meanwhile, the energy market has reacted strongly to these easing expectations. News of potential dialogue resumption has quickly reduced concerns over supply disruptions, causing crude oil prices to plunge more than 6% on Tuesday, currently trading near $91.43 per barrel and testing the key psychological support at $90 intraday. The sharp pullback in oil has eased global inflation expectations to some extent, weakening the inflation-hedging appeal of precious metals. Looking ahead, if talks achieve substantive progress, risk appetite may further recover and gold could retrace part of its previous gains; otherwise, renewed tensions may allow bulls to capitalize on USD weakness for another upward push.<\/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 has-medium-font-size wp-elements-3 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Asset Performance &amp; Fundamental Analysis<\/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.
