International bullion markets also showed a slight downturn as investors booked profits after recent gains. According to Reuters, gold prices softened as a stronger US dollar and expectations of steady interest rates weighed on demand for safe-haven assets, putting pressure on global prices.

Reuters also noted that geopolitical tensions and central bank policies continue to influence bullion trends. While gold remains supported by uncertainty, short-term fluctuations are expected as markets respond to economic data and monetary policy shifts.
