Gold Falls from Peak, but Rate Cut Hopes Keep Outlook Positive● Gold prices fell after hitting a high at $3057.59 due to a stronger US dollar, making it more expensive for overseas buyers.
● Despite this, gold is set for its third consecutive weekly gain, up 0.7% this week.
● Market participants expect at least two US Federal Reserve rate cuts this year, supporting gold's long-term bullish outlook.
◉ Technical Observations
