Gold staged a modest intraday rebound from the $3,983–$3,982 area to the top of the session on Friday morning.

Reports that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps struck a Singapore‑flagged freighter in the Strait of Hormuz have renewed doubts over the sustainability of the preliminary US‑Iran peace deal, a development likely to limit further dollar weakness and pressure gold. The backdrop favors sellers, supporting fresh selling on rallies and leaving gold on track for a fourth consecutive weekly decline. Technicals are weak: RSI near 36, below the 50 neutral line, implying persistent downward pressure and that the current uptick is not a decisive recovery.
