Global markets remained cautious as escalating tensions between the United States and Iran continued to drive safe-haven demand, while expectations of further Federal Reserve interest rate hikes reinforced support for the US Dollar. Precious metals attracted defensive flows but faced headwinds from higher rate expectations and Dollar strength. Meanwhile, commodity-linked currencies demonstrated resilience, while traditional safe-haven currencies showed mixed performance as investors reassessed geopolitical risks and broader market sentiment.
Gold traded modestly higher as investors sought defensive assets amid intensifying geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. However, gains remained limited as persistent expectations for additional Federal Reserve tightening and a firmer US Dollar reduced the appeal of non-yielding assets.

• US Economic Data: Stronger economic expectations maintained support for the US Dollar.
• FOMC Outcome: Expectations of further Fed tightening limited upside momentum.
• Trade Policy: No significant trade developments influenced Gold prices.
• Monetary Policy: Higher interest rate expectations continued weighing on precious metals.
• Trend: Moderately Bullish
• Resistance: $3,440
• Support: $3,390
• Forecast: Gold may continue trading with an upward bias while geopolitical uncertainty persists, although Dollar strength could cap further gains.
• Market Sentiment: Cautiously bullish as defensive demand offsets the impact of higher interest rates.
• Catalysts: Middle East developments, Fed communications, Treasury yields, and US economic releases.
Silver traded above $57.00 as buyers challenged a descending trend-line resistance despite ongoing expectations of tighter US monetary policy. Investor demand remained supported by geopolitical uncertainty and improving technical momentum.
