Gold bias flipped 73 times to bullish on July 22, 2026
Gold prices are being supported by a mix of physical demand and geopolitical optimism, with China buying the dip and hopes for a U.S.-Iran deal lending upward momentum. Meanwhile, comments from prominent investor John Paulson about a long-term bull market and analysts forecasting a comeback reinforce the positive sentiment, though a production drop at Fresnillo highlights ongoing supply-side constraints.
