Chart alert: Gold (XAU/USD) is down 3% for the week, but bulls may make a comeback
Gold (XAU/USD) has slipped about 3% this week despite escalating geopolitical tensions from the US–Iran war 2026. The pullback comes as rising inflation expectations driven by a surge in West Texas Intermediate crude oil pushed up the US 10-year Treasury real yield, increasing the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding gold. However, technical signals suggest the metal may attempt a short-term bullish rebound if key support holds.
