#GoldSeesLargestWeeklyDropIn43Years



Gold just had its worst week since 1983, dropping 11% to $4,488 per ounce. The sell-off is driven by escalating Middle East tensions, a strong US dollar, and rising inflation expectations, which are reducing gold's appeal as a safe haven.

*Key Factors Behind the Drop:*

- _Middle East Conflict_: Intensifying tensions and oil supply disruptions
- _Strong Dollar_: Making gold more expensive for foreign buyers
- _Fed Rate Hikes_: Higher interest rates reduce gold's attractiveness.

*Analyst Perspectives:*

- "A pricing logic adjustment rather than a reversal of the long-term trend" - Pepperstone strategist Dilin Wu
- "Gold is being sold despite being a traditional safe haven" - TD Bank's Daniel Ghali

*What's Next?*

- Support levels at $4,361 and $4,200 are being watched
- Analysts predict a potential recovery if conflict eases and oil prices drop
