Global gold prices declined as a stronger US dollar and rising Treasury yields weighed on the precious metal, while oil prices climbed due to stalled peace talks in the Middle East. As of 11:18 GMT on Thursday, spot gold dropped 0.6 percent to $4,517.94 per ounce, and US June gold futures fell 0.4 percent to $4,518.70. Analysts said inflation concerns and expectations of higher interest rates continued to weaken the gold market.
The ongoing Middle East tensions kept oil markets buoyant, with Brent crude rising nearly 3 percent to $107.4 per barrel. Iran stated it was reviewing Washington’s latest proposal, while US President Donald Trump said he could wait a few more days for Tehran’s response but left open the option of renewed strikes. Analysts noted that since the conflict began, gold prices have fallen more than 15 percent, while oil has gained amid energy-driven inflation fears.
Other precious metals also declined, with silver down 1.4 percent to $74.96 per ounce, platinum down 1 percent to $1,931.5, and palladium down 0.9 percent to $1,357.94.
