Precious metals prices moved higher during trading as market participants evaluated U.S.-Iran tensions, elevated oil prices, and the Federal Reserve's policy outlook. Gold and silver both recorded gains. Silver posted larger percentage increases than gold, reflecting both safe-haven buying and demand from industrial users.
Traders cited concerns over potential supply disruptions linked to Middle East developments. Oil prices also rose, adding support to metals markets. Federal Reserve interest rate expectations remained a factor in price movements. Lower rates typically support non-yielding assets such as gold and silver. The session showed mixed trading volumes across futures contracts for both metals.
