Gold Prices Rise on U.S.-Iran Peace Talks Amid Anticipation of Fed Rate Hike
Gold prices rebounded from a recent low amid progress in U.S.-Iran peace talks, which contributed to a decline in oil prices and eased some inflation concerns. However, expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate hike in December limited gold's gains, as higher rates reduce gold's appeal due to its lack of yield. The talks in Switzerland marked initial progress toward a potential deal within 60 days, while market sentiment remains cautious given the Fed's hawkish stance on inflation and monetary policy.
