        "summary": "Global gold prices rose more than 3 percent on Tuesday, reaching $4,652.31 per ounce in spot trading amid optimism over easing Middle East tensions and a weakening US dollar, despite a monthly decline of 11.8 percent driven by energy price spikes and inflation fears. Analysts maintain a bullish long-term outlook, with projections for 2026 averaging $4,600 per ounce according to BMI and potentially up to $5,400 by year-end per Goldman Sachs, supported by de-dollarisation trends and central bank purchases.",

Meanwhile, US gold futures\nclosed up 2.7 percent at $4,678.60 per ounce.<\/p>\n<p>The strengthening of gold also occurred alongside the weakening of\nthe US dollar.<\/p>\n<p>The weakening US dollar makes gold prices cheaper for holders of\nother currencies, thereby increasing investor interest in the yellow\nmetal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the long term, the underlying trend remains bullish, with key\nfundamental support such as de-dollarisation and ongoing central bank\npurchases,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, a Wall Street Journal report stated that US\nPresident Donald Trump is willing to end the military campaign against\nIran even though the Strait of Hormuz remains largely closed.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said the coming days\nwill be decisive in the conflict and warned Iran that the war could\nintensify further if no agreement is reached.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout March 2026, gold prices fell around 11.8 percent,\npressured by the surge in energy prices due to the Middle East conflict\nthat heightened inflation concerns.<\/p>\n<p>From the projection side, BMI maintains its forecast for gold prices\nin 2026 at an average of $4,600 per ounce.
