Spot gold prices have declined by nearly 1% to $4,123.49 per ounce, according to FirstSquawk. This movement continues a downward trend from the all-time high of $5,595.42 seen in late January 2026. Analysts highlight that the current price is approaching a critical support level around $4,000, with the stronger US dollar and hawkish indications from the Federal Reserve contributing to the pressure on gold prices. Despite the recent decline, gold remains a top performer over the past year, despite being down approximately 7% year-to-date.
