May 2025 gold market: A healthy correction after the surge
Range-boundProfit-taking from overbought levels, with structural demand intact.
Gold pulled back from its April record in May — no market rises in a straight line. After the vertical run, traders locked in profits and short-term speculators exited overbought conditions, while a cooling of trade tensions revived some risk appetite. Crucially, the structural pillars — central-bank buying and strong investment demand — stayed firmly in place, keeping the dip shallow.
