July Precious Metal Prices Remain Subdued Amid Geopolitical Tensions
In July, the prices of gold and silver were not very high.
Gold on the world market went up a little, but silver went down a bit.
The prices were affected by problems in the Middle East and worries that the U.S. might raise its interest rates.
Experts think that if gold stays below $4,410 or silver stays below $66, the prices will stay low.
They hope the prices will rise if they break those levels.
Gold prices remained subdued in July, with Comex gold gaining 1.7% to $4,107 by month‑end.
Comex silver fell 3.6% to $57.75, while MCX gold and silver also declined in domestic markets.
Prices were influenced by West Asian geopolitical tensions and concerns over a U.S. interest rate hike.
Analysts predict a negative short‑term trend unless gold breaks above $4,410 or silver above $66.
The outlook remains weak, with potential drops to $3,750–$3,850 for gold and $52–$54 for silver if key support levels hold.
