Recently, in the global market, gold has been重新 reaffirmed as a representative safe-haven asset due to geopolitical uncertainty, concerns over economic slowdown, and increased gold purchases by central banks worldwide. However, it has not shown a significant upward trend as of late.

Amid expanding volatility in U.S. stock markets and elsewhere, attention is focused on the future direction of gold prices.
