Comex gold jumps $61 to $4,151, silver climbs to $60.24 as US-Iran tensions seen easing
AI Market Summary
Gold and silver surged as markets priced improving US–Iran deescalation prospects and potential reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, while falling crude reduced inflation anxiety. Softer macro signals (lower job openings, narrower trade deficit) pushed down the implied odds of a September Fed hike to 57%, supporting non-yielding metals. Near-term focus shifts to ADP and payrolls for confirmation of the rates path.
