Gold Prices Rise as US and Iran Reach Peace Framework Agreement
Gold prices rose nearly 2% to a one-week high following a peace framework agreement between the US and Iran aimed at ending their conflict, lifting the US blockade, and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. The deal led to a weaker US dollar and a drop in oil prices by over 4%, easing inflation and interest rate hike concerns. The agreement is expected to be formally signed in Switzerland on Friday, with markets lowering the probability of a December US rate increase.
