Gold tumbled 2% to $4,570 per ounce on Friday, on track for its largest weekly decline since 1983, as escalating Middle East tensions sent energy prices soaring and dashed hopes for near-term interest rate cuts. Prices extended their decline after reports that the Pentagon is deploying three warships and thousands of Marines to the region, prompting traders to price in a 50% chance of a Federal Reserve rate hike by October amid fears of sustained inflation. The safe-haven metal has fallen every week since the US-Israel strikes on Iran last month, pressured by rising Treasury yields, a stronger dollar, and profit-taking as investors liquidated positions to offset losses elsewhere. Earlier this week, the Federal Reserve, European Central Bank, Bank of England, and Bank of Japan held rates steady but signaled readiness to tighten policy further if inflationary pressures persist.
