Gold bias flipped 10 times to bullish on July 26, 2026
Gold prices are being shaped by geopolitical tensions between the US and Iran, though a brief pause in hostilities has allowed oil to fall. The metal's recovery unexpectedly stalled, and indicators show a lack of speculative interest in gold futures. Meanwhile, ongoing debates about China's influence on gold pricing and the relevance of the gold-silver ratio add to the market uncertainty.
