Gold prices fell by about 1.4% during the Tuesday morning session in New York, with the XAU/USD pair trading near $4,020 after opening around $4,075, according to FX Street.
This decline reflects early session pressures on the precious metal, which is closely watched by investors as a safe-haven asset amid global market fluctuations.
For Japanese investors, movements in gold prices remain significant as they influence portfolio diversification strategies, especially given the yen’s sensitivity to global risk sentiment.
