The post Gold: Rallies face headwinds from Oil and rates – OCBC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. OCBC Bank’s Sim Moh Siong and Christopher Wong explain that the precious-metals complex has come under renewed pressure following the recent spike in Oil prices. Gold is down nearly 2% and Silver more than 4% week-to-date, as geopolitics work mainly through the Oil, inflation and rates channel. Near term, rallies in Gold and Silver may struggle unless Oil stabilises or Federal Reserve/rates concerns ease. Non-yielding metals pressured by macro “The precious-metals complex has come under renewed pressure, following the recent spike in oil prices.” “While geopolitics would normally offer some support for gold, the latest move has worked more through the oil, inflation and rates channel.” “That has weighed on non-yielding assets, with gold down nearly 2% week-to-date and silver falling more than 4%.” “Silver’s underperformance is not surprising given its higher-beta profile.

The post Gold declines as Trump ends Iran deal, markets eye Fed minutes appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Gold (XAU/USD) trades around $4,050 on Wednesday, down 1.40% on the day at the time of writing, as investors favor the US Dollar (USD) following a fresh deterioration in tensions between the United States (US) and Iran. The precious metal remains under pressure despite the increasingly fragile geopolitical backdrop, as markets expect that persistently higher energy prices could keep US monetary policy restrictive. Market sentiment deteriorated after US President Donald Trump said that the memorandum of understanding aimed at ending the conflict with Iran was now “over.” Trump also stated that he no longer wanted to deal with Iran, while announcing trade measures against Spain and renewing his criticism of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). These remarks supported the US Dollar, while Oil prices advanced amid rising concerns over global supply disruptions. Tensions es

The post EUR/USD Price Forecast: Euro hesitates above 1.1400 as geopolitical risks mount appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Euro (EUR) shows marginal losses against the US Dollar (USD) on Wednesday and has returned to levels just above 1.1400 during the European trading session after rejection at 1.1430. A new round of hostilities in Iran and investors’ cautiousness ahead of the release of the minutes of the latest Federal Reserve (Fed) meeting are keeping Euro bulls in check. US President Donald Trump affirmed earlier on Wednesday that the ceasefire is over and that, in his view, the memorandum of understanding is no longer in effect. These comments follow a fresh bout of reciprocal attacks between the US and Iran, and the revocation of the US authorisation to sell Iranian Oil. The market reaction has been tame so far, as investors continue to view these events as manoeuvres to gain leverage in the negotiation process. Beyond that, investors remain wary of placing large directio

The post Oil: Limited war risk keeps Brent capped – DBS appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. DBS Group Research’s Philip Wee notes that recent Iranian strikes on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz pushed Brent crude from $72 to $76 per barrel and lifted US Treasury 2Y yields, but markets still see no return to full-scale war. With Brent below $80 and far from $120, he argues oil-driven inflation and policy risks remain contained for now. Brent reacts to Hormuz tensions “Iran launched fresh strikes against commercial shipping vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, prompting the US Treasury Department to revoke licenses allowing Iran to sell oil globally.” “Brent crude surged from $72 to $76 per barrel on Tuesday, sending the US Treasury 2Y yield higher to 4.185% from 4.12%. With Brent still below $80, the 2Y yield was capped at June’s high of 4.234%.” “For now, the market is keeping to the playbook that Tehran and Washington are still in a high-stakes game to gain leverage during the temporary
