Market sentiment remains dominated by escalating geopolitical tensions in Europe, which are dampening the euro's outlook and fuelling demand for traditional safe-haven assets, notably the US dollar.

Gold remains well-positioned within a broader bullish trend, supported by both technical strength and underlying macro drivers.

The euro remained flat on Thursday, consolidating below key technical levels, with a break under 1.1550 potentially opening the door to deeper losses toward 1.14.
