Gold and silver prices dropped to their lowest level in more than a week on Friday as rising U.S. Treasury yields and a stronger dollar weighed on the metal, while escalating inflation worries linked to the Iran war strengthened expectations of higher interest rates.
Spot gold declined 2% to $4,557.61 per ounce by 2:06 p.m. EDT (1806 GMT), after touching its weakest level since May 4 earlier in the trading session. The metal has fallen 2.5% so far this week. Meanwhile, spot silver plunged 7.7% to $77.07 per ounce.
Tata Mutual Fund, in its latest report said, “We expect gold prices to consolidate in the near term, amid mixed macro signals—“higher for longer” US rates, a stronger dollar, and elevated bond yields. Short term volatility of around ±5% is likely. Geopolitical developments, particularly around the US–Iran conflict, could keep prices volatile with on off ceasefire headlines.”
Meanwhile, on the silver prices outlook, the firm said that Silver prices may fluctuate along with volatile industrial metals over demand concerns.
“We may see short term price gain over supportive China demand. However, the deteriorated global economic outlook may limit the demand for silver over medium term. The decline in solar installations and large liquidation of the long positions has eased the supply tightness in global market,” the firm said in its report.
