The move removed a major source of uncertainty for markets, reducing safe-haven demand, while Warsh is also viewed as less dovish than investors had anticipated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, signs of stabilization emerged late Monday, with gold closing well above its intraday lows, setting the stage for Tuesday\u2019s rebound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Market focus is now shifting to U.S. nonfarm payrolls data due on Friday, which could offer clearer guidance on the strength of the U.S. economy and the future path of interest rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Easing geopolitical tensions also weighed on haven demand earlier in the week, after the U.S. and Iran confirmed plans to resume talks over Tehran\u2019s nuclear program, reducing fears of imminent military escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Copper steadies as China demand supports outlook<\/strong><br>Base metals also edged higher, with copper prices recovering modestly from recent declines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Benchmark copper futures on the London Metal Exchange rose 1.2% to $13,081.95 a ton, while COMEX copper futures gained 1.4% to $5.91 a pound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Copper\u2019s pullback has been far more contained than that of precious metals, as demand expectations remain firm amid ongoing investments in power infrastructure, renewable energy, and data center construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>China, the world\u2019s largest copper importer, is also seen as a source of support, with buyers stepping in as Beijing rolls out additional stimulus measures to underpin economic growth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gold prices rebounded strongly in Asian trading on Tuesday, with silver and platinum also advancing, as precious metals steadied after two sessions of heavy losses.
