Gold and Silver Prices Face Volatility Amid US-Iran Tensions and Rising Oil Costs
Gold and silver prices are expected to remain volatile and under pressure due to escalating US-Iran tensions, rising crude oil prices, and upcoming global economic data. Analysts note that bullion's direction depends on geopolitical developments, US interest-rate expectations, and economic indicators from major economies. Recent US airstrikes on Iran-linked targets have heightened uncertainty, strengthening the US dollar and limiting support from the rupee. August gold futures fell nearly 2%, while September silver futures declined about 2.8% on India's MCX, with similar trends seen in international markets.
