Gold Prices Rise as US-Iran Fighting Pauses and Oil Prices Decline
Gold prices rose over 1% following a pause in US-Iran hostilities, which eased oil supply concerns and inflation risks. The US halted strikes against Iran without explanation, while Iran indicated it would refrain from retaliatory attacks. Oil prices dropped sharply, supporting gold's appeal amid expectations of stable or cautiously adjusted US interest rates. Other precious metals like silver and platinum also gained, with increased investor interest reflected in higher net long positions in COMEX gold futures.
