Gold Roughly Flat As Iran Awaits U.S. Response To Peace Plan

Gold prices edged lower as a U.S. ultimatum to Iran raised war concerns, while reports that Iran submitted a new proposal to the U.S. to end the conflict eased Middle East tensions. The U.S. has not officially responded, leaving geopolitical risk elevated but somewhat offset by hopes for de-escalation. The article is modestly bearish for gold in the near term, though the broader impact appears limited without further escalation.
