Spot Gold Prices + Spot Silver Price Today

As per Trading Economics, "Gold held near $5,000 per ounce on Monday after falling for two straight weeks, as oil remained volatile after the US attacked Iran's main oil-export hub of Kharg Island over the weekend, heightening global supply risks. Meanwhile, Silver fell to around $80 per ounce. The strike prompted retaliatory attacks from Tehran on Israel and energy infrastructure across other Arab countries. The US-Israeli war on Iran has now entered its third week with no clear resolution in sight, rattling financial markets. Higher energy prices and mounting inflationary pressures have lowered expectations that the US Federal Reserve and other major central banks will cut interest rates, posing a headwind for non-yielding precious metals."
