What Is Impacting Gold & Silver Rates Today?

As per Jateen Trivedi, VP Research Analyst - Commodity and Currency, LKP Securities, the recovery was supported by softer US inflation data for June, which initially boosted bullion sentiment.

However, markets remain cautious as investors believe inflation could pick up in the coming months due to elevated crude oil prices, potentially prompting the Federal Reserve to consider another interest rate hike later this year, possibly in September or December.

"Expectations of higher interest rates, along with a firm US dollar and elevated crude oil prices, continue to limit the upside in gold," the analyst added.

Mediators worked on Monday to bring both sides toward a new ceasefire, while reports pointed to a possible 10-day truce. However, tensions remained elevated after President Donald Trump warned that Iran would be held responsible for the deaths of three US service members. Iran-backed Houthi militants also announced a maritime embargo against Saudi Arabia, raising concerns over energy shipments through the Red Sea. US Treasury yields climbed sharply this week, with markets now pricing in about a 55% chance of a Federal Reserve rate hike in September, up from 51% a day earlier, according to Trading Economics.
