Gold rates and silver rates in India are trading on a mixed note. MCX gold is mildly up but still below Rs 1,49,500 mark and MCX silver crashed sharply by Rs 3,400 to struggle around Rs 2.36 lakh per 1Kg. This comes after spot gold price held around $4,530 per ounce on Tuesday after dropping by 2% in the previous session. Spot silver is below $73 per ounce.
The intensifying tensions in Middle East have pushed energy prices higher and intensified inflationary pressure.
US forces repelled Iranian attacks while escorting two US-flagged vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, while the UAE reported intercepting cruise missiles launched by Iran and attributed a major fire at its Fujairah port to an Iranian drone strike. These developments followed President Trump's plan to restore shipping through Hormuz and support stranded vessels, although shipowners remain cautious amid elevated security risks, as per Trading Economics.
Furthermore, safe haven assets are cautious despite decline in crude oil prices on Tuesday. Brent Crude is down by 1.5% to trade around $113 per barrel and US WTI Crude Oil dropped by 2.5% to trade below $104 per barrel.
US dollar, however, traded firm over 98.5 mark.
Investors now turn their attention to upcoming speeches from Fed officials and a batch of key economic releases, including the closely watched monthly jobs report. The US economy is projected to have added around 60K jobs in April, a sharp slowdown from the 178K increase recorded in March, as per Trading Economics.

The US and Iran exchanged fire in the Strait of Hormuz, raising uncertainty over the durability of the four-week ceasefire. US forces repelled Iranian attacks while escorting two US-flagged vessels through the strategic waterway, stating they had “defended all commercial ships” from drones and small boats deployed by Tehran. Meanwhile, the UAE reported intercepting Iranian missiles and confirmed a fire at its Fujairah oil terminal. These developments came after President Trump outlined plans to restore shipping through Hormuz and support stranded vessels, though shipowners remain wary given elevated security risks. The latest flare-up in the strait indicates that the route is likely to stay closed until a US–Iran agreement is reached, leaving markets cautious about the potential for further gains in energy prices, as per Trading Economics.
