Phillip Nova analyst Priyanka Sachdeva said structural drivers for gold remain despite a recent pullback; spot gold has retraced to about $4,100–4,200/oz and $4,000/oz remains a key level.

She said the next leg for gold will depend on how geopolitical risk transmits to oil prices, inflation expectations and US Treasury yields.
