😍 Gold’s Comeback Glow

Gold rose more than 1% today to around $4,970/oz as dip-buyers stepped in after a sharp 3% drop the previous day.

Silver also surged nearly 4% after an 11% fall, platinum, and palladium edged higher but remained on track for weekly losses, and ANZ lifted its Q2 gold forecast to $5,800/oz, calling gold an insurance asset amid uncertainty.
