Gold and Silver Prices Rise to Seven-Week Highs on US-Iran Tension Easing
Gold and silver prices rose to seven-week highs amid easing tensions between the US and Iran, which boosted hopes for a diplomatic breakthrough and reduced expectations of further US Federal Reserve interest rate hikes. The precious metals gained support from a weaker US dollar, softer US Treasury yields, and rupee depreciation in India, making imported bullion costlier. While optimism over reopening the Strait of Hormuz lifted market sentiment, some caution remains due to ongoing geopolitical uncertainties and upcoming US economic data that could influence interest rate decisions.
