Why did gold slip in global markets?
The yellow metal's price fell on Friday in international markets as traders weighed a standoff between the United States and Iran that has dampened expectations for interest rate cuts from central banks across the world. The conflict has also pushed oil prices higher on May 1.
Bullion fell as much as 1.2%, after adding 1.5% in the previous session. US President Donald Trump vowed to maintain a naval blockade on Iran and was briefed by commanders on further military options, according to a report. Iran said the blockade would have to end for the Strait of Hormuz to be reopened, according to Bloomberg News.
The energy-supply disruptions caused by the nine-week conflict has added to inflation risks, raising the likelihood that central banks will keep rates steady for longer or even increase them, which is a headwind for non-yielding bullion. Gold has lost nearly 14% since the outbreak of the war on Februrary 28, 2026.
