Precious Metals Slip As Middle East Conflict Shows No Signs Of Cooling AUGMONT BULLION REPORT
– Gold and Silver Prices Are Trading Around Support Levels As The Middle East Conflict Kept Escalating With No Signs Of Slowing Down, Wiping Out Recent Optimism About Easing Inflation
Price Movement – Gold and Silver prices are trading around support levels as the Middle East conflict kept escalating with no signs of slowing down, wiping out recent optimism about easing inflation and stirring worries that rising oil prices could force the Fed’s hand on interest rates. Investors are now turning their attention to remarks from Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan and Fed Vice Chair Philip Jefferson, both due to speak later today.
Geopolitical Tensions – The US carried out fresh strikes on Iranian targets on Wednesday, though President Trump said Tehran had shown some willingness to return to the negotiating table.
Macro-Economic Signals – US consumer and producer inflation both slowed in June, helped by falling energy costs, adding to evidence that inflation was cooling off before the latest flare-up in the Middle East. Even so, traders are still pricing in roughly a 73% chance of a December Fed rate hike, according to the CME FedWatch Tool.
Technical Triggers
Gold’s next move still hinges on how the US-Iran situation develops. Holding above $4,090 (~Rs 1,44,000) could open the path to $4,160 (~Rs 1,47,000). But a slip below $4,000 (~Rs 1,40,000) risks a deeper slide toward $3,900 (~Rs 1,37,000).
A sustained move above of Silver above $63 (~Rs 2,30,000) could push it toward $70–71 (~Rs 2,51,000–2,55,000), while a break below $58 (~Rs 2,20,000) could drag it down to $55 (~Rs 2,10,000) and even $50 (~ Rs 1,90,000).

US Holiday Shopping Expected To Top $1 Trillion For The First Time: NRF
While Overall Buying Power Remains High, Ongoing Inflation and Rising Household Costs Mean Some Families Will Have To Watch Their Spending More Carefully Than Others
The National Retail Federation (NRF) predicts Americans will spend $1.01 trillion on holiday shopping in November and December. That is a 4.2% jump from $972 billion last year.
NRF said its forecast was based on economic modeling that incorporates consumer spending, employment, wages and historical retail sales data. It excludes automobile, gasoline and restaurant sales
Extra Hiring: To handle the surge in shoppers, stores plan to hire 325,000 to 375,000 temporary holiday workers.
Mixed Budget Impact: Higher gas prices and inflation could still strain some family budgets, affecting low- and high-income shoppers differently.
Retailers expect a strong shopping season because people continue to make holiday spending a priority.
Store owners are ready to attract shoppers by offering competitive prices, deals, and choices for every budget.
While overall buying power remains high, ongoing inflation and rising household costs mean some families will have to watch their spending more carefully than others.
