Precious Metals Rally On US-Iran Ceasefire: Gold Tops $4,850, Silver Jumps To $76
Sharp Rebound Comes From Post-Conflict Lows, As Oil Dipped Below $100 Per Barrel and The Dollar Weakened
COMEX gold rocketed 3.1% to above $4,850 per ounce in Asian trading, building on yesterday’s 1.2% gain, while silver soared 6.8% to $76.92/oz. The rally followed U.S. President Trump’s announcement of a two-week ceasefire with Iran, halting strikes to negotiate the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran has submitted a 10-point proposal through a Pakistani mediator, with talks scheduled for April 10 in Islamabad. This sharp rebound comes from post-conflict lows, even as oil dipped below $100 per barrel and the dollar weakened—factors that bolster dollar-denominated precious metals.
Since the February conflict began, gold has fallen about 10% overall and silver around 17%, but recent ceasefire hopes and signs of slowing global growth are fueling the recovery, offsetting rate-hike concerns. Volatility lies ahead with an upward bias if safe-haven demand persists and macroeconomic conditions remain supportive. Markets are now awaiting the minutes from the Fed’s March meeting, due on Wednesday.
