Fed’s July 29 decision and oil volatility put gold at $4,070.8/oz and silver at $58.90/oz in focus

AI Market Summary
Gold and silver rallied as West Asia shipping risks and US-Iran tensions lifted oil and inflation hedging demand ahead of the July 29 Fed decision. Brent's brief spike above $100 heightened supply-disruption concerns, while upcoming US PCE, confidence, and jobless claims could shift rate expectations and real yields. Ongoing PBoC gold accumulation adds an official-demand backstop, keeping bullion sensitive to macro and geopolitical headlines.

Gold and silver posted sharp gains this week, with Comex August gold up 1.3% to USD 4,070.8 per ounce and September silver nearly 5% higher at USD 58.90 per ounce, while India’s gold price rose 1.6%. Prices were supported after Brent crude briefly moved back above USD 100 per barrel following Houthi strikes on Saudi-owned vessels, alongside rising US-Iran tensions and the approaching July 29 Federal Reserve policy meeting, lifting safe-haven and inflation-hedge demand. China’s central bank also continued buying gold in May, adding to official-sector support.
