Gold prices hold steady, dependent on developments in Middle East

Overall, gold prices held steady on Thursday, as investors awaited clearer signs of progress in Middle East de-escalation efforts and stayed cautious ahead of fresh geopolitical developments that could shape safe-haven demand.

Uncertainty loomed over the future of the ongoing West Asia tensions, with the US and Iran refusing to come to terms on possible negotiations.

Spot gold was steady at $4,503.29 per ounce. US gold futures for April delivery lost 1.2% to $4,500, Reuters reported.

Iran has rejected US President Donald Trump's push for talks, presenting its own demands after the US said it handed over a 15-point ceasefire plan to Iran through Pakistan earlier this week.

Meanwhile, spot silver fell 0.1% to $71.19 per ounce. Spot platinum lost 0.7% to $1,906.90, while palladium fell 1.4% to $1,404.

Financial experts pointed out that the gold prices are now subject to further developments in the negotiations in the Middle East conflict. "In the next 24 to 48 hours, gold prices will just be about reacting to headlines about negotiations," Kyle Rodda, a senior financial market analyst at Capital.com, told Reuters.
