$Gold - main 2606(GCmain)$prices continued their recent downward trend on Wednesday (April 29), falling as much as 1.17% to close at $4,543 per ounce. During the session, it even touched a low of $4,510.21, the lowest point in a month since late March. Meanwhile, US gold futures also suffered, settling down 1% at $4,561.50. This marks the second consecutive trading day of decline for gold, with market sentiment shifting abruptly from relative optimism a few weeks ago to caution and even pessimism. The Federal Reserve's hawkish interest rate decision, ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, a sharp rise in oil prices, and renewed inflation concerns have largely eliminated market expectations for a Fed rate cut this year, while expectations for a rate hike have increased, providing upward momentum for the dollar and significantly pressuring gold prices. $XAU/USD(XAUUSD.FOREX)$
