Commodity Market Outlook: Gold, Silver & Crude Oil
Commodity markets witnessed significant volatility as investors reacted to rising US inflation, Federal Reserve expectations, and escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. While precious metals remained under pressure from a stronger US Dollar and higher inflation expectations, crude oil continued its rally amid growing concerns over global supply disruptions. () Remains Under Pressure
Gold prices extended their decline toward the $4,100 level as US inflation accelerated to 4.2%, reinforcing expectations that the Federal Reserve may maintain a restrictive monetary policy stance. At the same time, renewed tensions between the United States and Iran boosted demand for the US Dollar, limiting safe-haven flows into gold.
Key Levels
Resistance: 4,180 | 4,250 | 4,300
Support: 4,100 | 4,050 | 4,000
Market Bias: Bearish below 4,180.
() Extends Losses
Silver prices continued to weaken, falling toward 64.50 as investors responded to higher inflation expectations and stronger US economic data. The metal remains vulnerable to further downside if the Dollar maintains its strength and interest rate expectations remain elevated.
Key Levels
Resistance: 66.00 | 68.00 | 70.00
Support: 64.50 | 63.00 | 61.50
Market Bias: Bearish below 66.00.
Surges on Supply Concerns
climbed near $91 per barrel as escalating tensions between the US and Iran raised concerns about supply disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz. Additional support came from a larger-than-expected decline in US crude inventories, highlighting tightening market conditions.
Key Levels
Resistance: 91.00 | 93.50 | 95.00
Support: 88.50 | 86.00 | 84.00
Market Bias: Bullish above 88.50.

Gold: Bearish to Neutral
Silver: Bearish
Crude Oil: Bullish
