February Gold futures bounced back following a 4.59% drop from a recent all-time high close. The recovery is driven by a deteriorating geopolitical landscape, including a U.S. naval quarantine of Venezuela and regional instability. With one trading day left in 2025, Gold futures are set to end the year up 83.79%. Dip buyers are providing a steady bid as equity markets look shakier toward year-end, reinforcing the role of the metal as a safe haven amid global uncertainty.
