Gold and Silver Prices Decline Amid Rising Yields and Fed Rate-Hike Expectations
Gold and silver prices declined amid rising US Treasury yields and elevated crude oil prices, which heightened inflation concerns and reinforced expectations of further Federal Reserve interest rate hikes. The Fed's recent rate increase and a 68 percent market probability of another hike in October pressured non-yielding precious metals. While geopolitical tensions involving Iran and the Strait of Hormuz remain, investors await potential diplomatic progress or Fed decisions for market direction. Consumer sentiment in the US also fell due to inflation worries, adding to market uncertainty.
