Why this matters

Precious metals like gold and silver are often considered safe-haven assets, meaning their value tends to increase during times of economic or political instability. Geopolitical tensions and trade uncertainties, such as those involving US tariffs and US-Iran relations, typically drive investors towards these assets, impacting their market prices. Understanding these movements provides insight into global economic sentiment and investor confidence.
