Gold prices edged down to around $4,050 during the early Asian session on Tuesday, reflecting ongoing uncertainty surrounding US-Iran relations, FX Street reported.

According to FX Street, the United States has paused its planned airstrikes against Iran, adding to the market’s cautious stance. This development contributed to the subdued movement in gold, a traditional safe-haven asset.

For Japanese investors, the cautious tone in gold markets underscores the complex geopolitical risks influencing FX and commodity markets, particularly as Japan closely monitors US foreign policy shifts that can impact the yen and regional trade dynamics.
