Linh Tran, market analyst at said geopolitical risks remain prolonged following last week's clash between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
'Both sides have since taken further actions, with the US temporarily halting aid to Ukraine and Ukraine responding that they will continue their efforts despite lacking US support. However, the US emphasised that this is a 'temporary pause,' while the Ukrainian president has continued to express a desire to reach an agreement with the US,' said Tran.
She said geopolitical uncertainty is expected to persist until Wednesday, causing investors to delay their actions regarding safe-haven assets.
The health of the US economy is also another major factor which will influence the precious metal prices in the near future.
