Gold Holds Steady Near Seven-Week High; Silver Gains Amid Inflation and Geopolitical Concerns
Gold and silver prices showed mixed trends amid global economic and geopolitical developments. Gold held steady near a seven-week high, supported by softer U.S. jobs data that lowered expectations for Federal Reserve rate hikes, while silver extended gains. Domestic markets saw gold rise due to rupee depreciation and festive demand, with silver also advancing. Investors await key U.S. inflation data for further direction. Geopolitical tensions, particularly involving Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, remain a factor but inflation and monetary policy expectations are increasingly influencing precious metal prices.
