Gold prices have experienced a downward trend this week, driven by a significant easing of global geopolitical tensions following the recent US-Iran peace agreement and the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon.

Gold and silver exchange-traded funds (ETFs) came under selling pressure on Friday as precious metal prices remained on track for a third consecutive weekly decline.

The weakness followed a stronger US dollar and hawkish signals from the US Federal Reserve, which weighed on bullion prices.
