Gold price opened the June 5, 2026 Asian session at $4,461.93, nudging lower in a market starved of liquidity. The bears are in control after last week’s mixed US ISM manufacturing data failed to rescue the metal from its sliding-dollar correlation. With no tier‑one data scheduled during the Asian hours, traders are left to assess whether the downtrend can sustain a test of the $4,474 breakdown zone. Thin volumes often produce erratic spikes, but the underlying structure suggests lower levels remain the path of least resistance. This morning, patience is the trade.
