Globally gold prices fell on Friday as investors reassessed their risk outlook in the wake of U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff measures, which have provided more clarity on market trends but raised concerns over economic slowdown, Reuters reported.
Spot gold was down 0.5% at $3,097.99 an ounce. Still, bullion was on track for a fifth consecutive weekly gain, buoyed by its safe-haven appeal that aided gold to reach three record highs this week.
"Gold tends to rally amid difficult-to-price uncertainty - like the start of a war - but tends to lose that support once markets learn how to price the risks involved," said Ilya Spivak, head of global macro at Tastylive.
"The Trump administration seems to have picked a road, and while sentiment clearly doesn't like it, at least the path of least resistance is more visible and easier to price. That is trimming some of gold's "market confusion" premium."
