📊 Why Did Gold Prices Dip Today?
After a sharp jump earlier this week, gold prices have taken a small breather. Here’s what’s behind it:
-
Stronger US Dollar: Global gold prices eased slightly as the dollar strengthened.
-
Profit booking: Investors who saw recent gains may be cashing out, causing a short-term dip.
-
Cooling demand: Mid-week often sees lighter buying activity compared to weekends and festivals.
But don’t worry — this isn’t a crash. It’s more like a short tea break in the long journey of gold’s price climb.
