*. When tensions go down or markets think diplomacy will work people buy less gold.
Markets Watch US and Iran Situation
The situation between the US and Iran is a deal for gold prices. Investors are watching to see if things will get better or worse.

US Dollar Affects Gold Prices Too
The US dollar’s performance also affects gold. Since gold is priced in dollars, changes in the dollar’s value affect gold.
