Gold prices hit two-month high amid US-Iran tensions FAST-MOVING
Gold prices have surged to a two-month high, with spot gold rising 1 percent to 4,432.74 dollars per ounce. Analysts note that ounce gold has reached its highest level in 10 weeks, driven by safe-haven demand and geopolitical uncertainty.
Market volatility is being fueled by escalating tensions between the United States and Iran. US President Donald Trump has indicated the possibility of military action if a diplomatic agreement is not reached, raising concerns regarding the stability of the Strait of Hormuz and global energy supplies. This uncertainty has contributed to a rise in Brent crude oil prices.
Investors are closely monitoring upcoming US inflation data, specifically the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI), to gauge the Federal Reserve’s future interest rate decisions. While some analysts suggest gold could reach 5,000 dollars in the medium term if economic cooling continues, others remain cautious due to potential hawkish shifts in Fed policy.
