Gold prices have fallen to a three-month low, reaching July levels, a decline confirmed by multiple sources. This movement is attributed to a surge in oil prices and an unusual divergence from gold's typical safe-haven correlation during periods of heightened market risk aversion. The exact drivers behind this divergence, whether forced selling or liquidity issues, remain uncertain.
