Eliman Dambell Sayvio AI

Following Friday’s Alaska Summit between Trump and Putin, Volodymyr Zelensky heads to the White House with European leaders in search of security guarantees.

The uncertainty surrounding a potential peace deal has intensified in recent days, prompting market reactions to this volatility.

After opening the session at $3,336, XAUUSD fell to a low of $3,323, before racing to a peak of $3,358 later in the day.

As of writing, the safe haven is now tracking close to its open price, with momentum edging lower.

Should the meeting lead to a peace deal, we could see the price of Gold marginally decline towards a support level of $3,298, with investors removing funds from risk assets.

Gold remains offered below $5,000
