Gold's rebound was cut short last week as the U.S.-Iran situation deteriorated sharply, with the ceasefire breakdown and rising oil prices reigniting inflation fears and sending gold to a weekly loss.

Oil Spikes, Then Retreats: Markets Bet on No Real Supply Hit

After Trump declared at the NATO summit that the ceasefire was "over," the US and Iran quickly resumed military action.
