However, international gold prices plummeted by over 1% intraday, falling below $2300 per ounce. ## Gold Plunges in Early Trading, Breaking Below $2300 Mark Spot gold fell below $2300 per ounce, down by 1.12% to $2299 per ounce, marking the first time since April 8. ## Asia-Pacific Stock Markets Open Higher The Nikkei 225 index opened higher but is currently down by 0.15%. The KOSPI index in South Korea rose by 0.2%, while the Philippine stock index increased by 1%. Haruhiko Kuroda, Governor of the Bank of Japan, stated that it is necessary to maintain loose monetary policy conditions for some time.
