Gold, silver rally: Comex gold surges $61; silver tops $60 as U.S.-Iran thaw fuels haven bid
AI Market Summary
Comex gold and silver surged on expectations of US-Iran de-escalation and softer oil prices, which eased near-term inflation fears. Lower inflation anxiety reduced the market-implied probability of a September Fed hike, supporting precious metals via lower real-rate expectations. Near-term direction will be sensitive to incoming ADP and nonfarm payrolls data that could reset rate expectations and volatility across metals and FX.

Aug. 4 — Gold and silver prices climbed as hopes for easing tensions between the U.S. and Iran lifted sentiment. Comex gold rose $61 to $4,151 an ounce, while silver added $2.35 to $60.24.
A pullback in crude oil prices also helped cool inflation worries. Markets pared expectations for a Federal Reserve rate hike in September, with the implied probability slipping to 57%.
Investors are now awaiting the ADP private payrolls report and the U.S. nonfarm payrolls data for further clues on the Fed's policy path.
