On June 29, 2026 (GMT-5), XAU/USD staged a steep downtrend and slid to a fresh multi-week low amid solid hawkish Fed policy expectations, trading within a daily range of $4000.69 to $4102.90, opening at $4098.40 and closing roughly at $4016.36 with a daily loss of nearly 1.77%. Renewed strength in the U.S. dollar and spiking Treasury yields lifted the holding cost of non-yielding gold, while receding Middle East geopolitical worries drained safe-haven capital inflows. Institutional profit-taking and large-scale long liquidation intensified bearish momentum throughout the session; limited technical dip-buying only modestly slowed the price decline and failed to reverse the prevailing downward bias.Bullish outlook for the market tomorrow; target level: 4202.93.
