According to Golden Ten Data on June 4, the World Gold Council stated that some physical gold markets appear to have weakened, with discount trading observed in India and South Korea, and sporadic selling signs in the Japanese market.

In the short term, the greatest risk may come from the energy market. Oil prices are currently dominating market attention, inflation expectations, and bond yield trends. If inventory declines lead to a sharp rise in energy prices, this could initially push up bond yields, strengthen the US dollar, and extend gold’s current weakness, with the market gradually reflecting its longer-term impact only later.
