[60627] Market turmoil: Gold plunges while the Dollar and Euro soar

Sharp fluctuations in the markets: Gold weakens and foreign currencies strengthen

The financial markets open on May 15, 2026, in a storm, as conflicting trends influence investment portfolios. According to TGRT HABER, gold prices recorded a significant decline, reaching a "week-and-a-half low".

At the same time, the weakening trend of the precious metal is intensifying. As reported in Haber Gündem, this is "bad news for investors", as "the wind has changed" and prices are on a strong downward path. According to Haber Gündem's analysis, the main factors for the pressure on gold are the surge in energy prices and the strengthening of the dollar, which are changing market expectations regarding inflation and interest rates.

Conversely, the foreign exchange market presents a completely different picture. According to TGRT HABER, the Dollar and Euro recorded sharp price increases against the local currency. The rise in the value of foreign currencies integrates with the pressure trend on commodities and indicates investor preference for dollar-denominated assets during a period of economic uncertainty.
