Gold and Silver Prices Decline Amid US-Iran Tensions and Inflation Concerns

Gold and silver prices have declined amid ongoing US-Iran tensions, rising crude oil prices, and concerns over inflation and interest rate hikes. Efforts to resume peace talks have stalled, with US envoys' planned trip to Pakistan canceled and Iran maintaining a firm stance. The disruption of energy supplies via the Strait of Hormuz has kept oil prices elevated, fueling inflation fears. Investors are closely watching the US Federal Reserve's upcoming policy decisions, which may influence precious metals markets. Despite volatility, some experts see opportunities for long-term accumulation amid geopolitical uncertainty.
