Gold prices increased for the third consecutive day on Thursday, as hopes for a U.S.-Iran agreement eased concerns over prolonged inflation and high interest rates. According to Jin10, Tim Water, Chief Market Analyst at KCM Trade, noted that the gold price saw a slight rise today, supported by a weaker dollar and declining oil prices.
