MCX gold and silver edge up as Brent slides 3% to near $86 and dollar index dips below 99

AI Market Summary
Gold and silver firmed as a sharp drop in Brent and a softer dollar supported demand for defensive assets. Oil weakened on reduced supply-risk premium after Iran-Oman talks signaled potential progress on Strait of Hormuz shipping, though Middle East and sanctions-related uncertainty remains. Near-term positioning is constrained by event risk from US July PCE inflation data and upcoming Jackson Hole remarks, which could shift rates and USD expectations.
