    "Gold slipped to around $3,220 per ounce, heading for a 3% weekly loss as easing trade tensions reduced demand for safe-haven assets. A US-China tariff truce and stable India-Pakistan relations weighed on prices. Despite soft US inflation data supporting rate cut expectations, Fed Chair Powell warned of future inflation volatility. On the technical front, MCX Gold has been weakening on the daily charts, forming a double top pattern. It has experienced heavy volume sell-offs over the last couple of trading sessions," said Way2Wealth Brokers.

    "Gold is threatening to end below the 50-day moving average for the first time since December. Gold prices are showing signs of stress as key macro shifts weigh on the metal. A break below a critical support band could set the stage for deeper downside," said Axis Securities.
