Mars Finance reports that on March 21, affected by escalating Middle East tensions and interest rate expectations, gold prices plummeted significantly, marking the largest single-week decline since 1983. Spot gold fell to approximately $4488 per ounce on Friday, with a cumulative weekly decline of about 11%, and a total decline exceeding 15% since late February. Market analysts believe the Federal Reserve may maintain interest rates unchanged within the year, and Powell's statements on rising inflation have weakened gold's appeal. Meanwhile, against the backdrop of Iran conflict, Bitcoin has shown relatively stronger performance, with a rebound exceeding 11% during the period, forming a contrast with gold.
