On June 23, 2026 (GMT-5), XAU/USD suffered a sharp selloff and tumbled to a two-week low, trading within a daily range of $4090.50 to $4158.20, opening at $4151.10 and closing around $4112.07 with a daily loss of nearly 1.65%. Hawkish Federal Reserve rhetoric boosted the U.S. dollar and lifted Treasury yields, raising the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding gold. Easing Middle East geopolitical tensions erased safe-haven buying demand, while broad risk-off sentiment across global markets failed to offset rate-driven bearish pressure; minor bargain hunting only trimmed losses without reversing the dominant downward trend.Bullish outlook for the market tomorrow; target level: 4128.22.
