Gold and oil markets react to Fed policy and US-Iran diplomacy FAST-MOVING
Global commodity markets are experiencing volatility as investors react to central bank policies and geopolitical shifts. Gold prices have seen a downward trend, with spot gold trading near $4,350 per ounce. This decline is attributed to expectations of continued interest rate hikes by the US Federal Reserve and rising Treasury yields. Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari noted that inflation remains high and has spread beyond energy sectors.
In the energy sector, Brent crude oil prices have fluctuated around $101 per barrel. A recent decline in oil prices is linked to diplomatic efforts led by Qatar and Pakistan to mediate renewed discussions between the US and Iran. US President Donald Trump has indicated openness to meeting with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian during the UN General Assembly, which has eased some supply risk concerns.
In the silver market, the Silver Institute warns of a persistent supply deficit, projecting a shortfall of 46.3 million ounces in 2026. This marks the sixth consecutive year of supply shortages, driven by the inability of mining production to keep pace with industrial demand, particularly in electronics and data centers, despite a potential slowdown in the solar energy sector.
