Gold Price Unexpectedly Drops 2% Approaching $4400, Iran War and Oil Crisis Impact Safe-Haven Logic

On March 23, gold prices fell 2%, approaching $4,400, marking a new low since the end of 2025, with the selloff nearly erasing gains from early 2026.

Insufficient speculative momentum is accelerating the selloff, with the market showing clear divergence on the outlook. $4,300 is a key support level; if broken, it could accelerate further selling. Analysts predict gold prices could potentially return above $5,000, but market risks and external impacts warrant caution.
