Gold moved higher toward $4,800 on Tuesday, reaching its strongest level since mid-March as a softer dollar supported prices. The shift came as progress in US-Iran discussions reduced pressure on oil, helping calm inflation concerns.


Even though recent talks did not produce a final agreement and tensions remain around key trade routes, signals of continued negotiations have kept market sentiment relatively stable.


The dollar weakened to a monthly low, while oil prices pulled back on expectations of a possible longer-term resolution, easing fears of prolonged inflation and aggressive rate hikes.


Traders are now factoring in around a 30% probability of a Federal Reserve rate cut this year.


Despite the recent strength, gold is still trading below its pre-conflict levels, showing that the broader recovery is not fully complete.
