thebalanced.newsGold and Silver Prices Decline Amid Easing US-Iran Tensions and Inflation Concerns
Gold and silver prices declined on May 4 amid easing US-Iran tensions and a stronger US dollar, which reduced safe-haven demand. Prices were also pressured by elevated crude oil rates and persistent inflation concerns, prompting expectations of sustained higher interest rates. US President Trump's plan to escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz and ongoing peace talks with Iran influenced market sentiment. Despite near-term volatility, analysts note underlying support from geopolitical risks and steady physical demand.
