Factors influencing gold and silver rates

Gold and silver prices remained under pressure in global markets as renewed tensions in the Middle East pushed crude oil prices higher. Rising energy costs have strengthened expectations that major central banks could maintain higher interest rates for longer to keep inflation in check.

At the same time, a stronger US dollar and elevated US Treasury yields made non-yielding assets such as gold less attractive, weighing on investor demand. Persistent uncertainty over the chances of a lasting peace agreement in the region also kept market sentiment cautious, limiting any meaningful rebound in precious metal prices.
