thebalanced.newsGold and Silver Prices Decline Amid US-Iran Tensions and Await Federal Reserve Decisions
Gold and silver prices have declined amid ongoing US-Iran tensions and stalled peace talks, with the Strait of Hormuz remaining closed and oil prices rising sharply. Investors are closely watching the US Federal Reserve's upcoming policy decisions, including the April 29 meeting, which may influence precious metals. While some optimism about renewed talks exists, recent cancellations and cautious statements have contributed to market uncertainty. Indian gold premiums have risen due to tight supply, even as global bullion markets face pressure from inflation and interest rate concerns.
