Gold bias flipped 54 times to bullish on August 5, 2026
Gold has climbed for a third day, holding above $4,100 and briefly topping $4,200 for the first time since July 6, as hopes for a Hormuz deal eased inflation fears. However, prices have come under some pressure, with market focus shifting to upcoming U.S. labor data for direction.
