Gold Prices Rise

 

Gold Prices Edge Higher Amid Focus on US-Iran Peace Negotiations

Gold prices posted slight gains during early Asian trading on Wednesday as investors continued to monitor ongoing peace negotiations between the United States and Iran.

The precious metal has traded within a narrow range over the past 10 days as markets assess mixed signals surrounding the Iran conflict. Bullion prices briefly declined on Tuesday after the US military launched strikes on targets in southern Iran.

Spot gold climbed 0.2% to $4,518.06 per troy ounce as of 07:57 WIB, while gold futures advanced 0.3% to $4,550.32 per ounce.

Despite the modest rebound, spot gold remains trapped within a trading range between $4,400 and $4,600 per ounce over the last 10 days.

Concerns over the inflationary impact of the Iran conflict continue to weigh heavily on gold prices, especially after recent inflation data revealed energy-driven price increases during March and April.

The inflation outlook has fueled speculation that major central banks could raise interest rates in the coming months to combat rising prices — a development typically considered bearish for gold markets.

According to CME FedWatch data, markets are currently pricing in nearly a 40% probability that the Federal Reserve will increase interest rates in December.

Meanwhile, other precious metals showed mixed performance on Wednesday. Spot silver gained 0.2% to $77.1055 per ounce, while spot platinum fell 0.7% to $1,953.19 per ounce.

Gold Prices Surge

Gold Prices Rise Monday Morning Amid Optimism Over US-Iran Deal

Gold prices moved higher in early trading on Monday (May 25, 2026), supported by growing optimism surrounding a potential agreement between the United States and Iran. The positive sentiment boosted investor interest in precious metals as markets closely monitored geopolitical developments.

According to Bloomberg, as of 07:56 WIB, gold futures for August 2026 delivery on the Commodity Exchange climbed to US$4,606.70 per troy ounce, gaining 1.10% compared to last weekend’s closing price of US$4,556.40 per troy ounce.

The increase in gold prices came as signs of progress in US-Iran negotiations strengthened expectations that the Strait of Hormuz could reopen, easing concerns over global inflation and energy supply disruptions.

Bloomberg reported that US officials stated discussions regarding the final structure of the agreement are still ongoing, with several more days needed before final approval can be reached.

US President Donald Trump also mentioned on social media that he would not rush the negotiation process to secure a deal.

Meanwhile, Justin Lin, analyst at Global X ETFs in Sydney, said the gold market’s reaction to the headlines remained relatively calm.

“Markets have seen several announcements from Trump in the past that ultimately led nowhere. Investors still need stronger evidence of concrete cooperation from Iran before confirming a sustained rally in prices and lowering inflation expectations,” Lin explained.
