Gold rebounds from year-long lows as buyers step in

Gold prices bounced back from recent weakness on Tuesday, signalling a tentative floor after the precious metal hit its lowest level in a year. Spot gold gained as much as 0.7% during the session, trading near US$3,900 per ounce, equivalent to approximately S$4,990.
The recovery reflects classic dip-buying behaviour, where investors and traders view significant price declines as buying opportunities. This pattern has historically provided support for gold during broader market sell-offs, suggesting some confidence among market participants that recent lows may represent reasonable entry points.
Gold's trajectory has been influenced by broader macroeconomic factors, including interest rate expectations and currency movements. The precious metal remains sensitive to shifts in monetary policy and real yields, with investors balancing gold's appeal as a safe-haven asset against the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding bullion.
Analysts will be watching for sustained momentum above current levels to confirm whether the recent decline has run its course. Any further deterioration could test additional support levels, while a decisive break higher might attract further buying interest from regional investors seeking portfolio diversification.
