Gold retreats as firmer dollar offsets geopolitical safe-haven support

03-03-2026 11:26 AM


Ammon News - Gold prices eased on Tuesday, pulled back by a stronger dollar, ‌while investors assessed the impact of an escalating U.S. and Israeli air war against Iran.

Spot gold was down 0.4% at $5,305.23 per ounce, as of 0646 GMT. In the previous session, bullion climbed to ​its highest point in more than four weeks after the U.S. and Israel ​launched strikes on Iran over the weekend.

U.S. gold futures for April ⁠delivery were up 0.3% at $5,326.40.

The dollar hovered close to a more than five-week high ​reached on Monday, supported by firm demand and cautious market sentiment. A stronger greenback typically ​makes dollar-denominated assets such as bullion more expensive for foreign buyers.

Silver ​fell 5.8% to $84.25/oz, after climbing to a more than four-week high on Monday. Platinum lost 4.4% to $2,200.89/oz, palladium ​fell 1.2% to $1,745.26.
