On April 15, gold and silver prices experienced gains for the second session, with gold rising to $4,855 per ounce and silver to $79 per ounce. This increase is attributed to renewed optimism surrounding US-Iran negotiations, which aim to resolve ongoing tensions and ease inflation concerns linked to energy supply shocks. Oil prices stabilized, and a decline in the dollar index provided further support for gold, which is priced in US currency. Despite an 8% drop in gold prices since the conflict began, analysts believe that much of the geopolitical risk has already been priced in, leading to a more stable outlook for precious metals. Gaurav Garg, a research analyst, noted that while gold and silver are seen as safe havens, crude oil is more sensitive to immediate geopolitical developments. Looking ahead, Renisha Chainani, Head of Research at Augmont, indicated that gold faces resistance around $4,800-$4,850 per ounce, with potential upward movement towards $5,000. Silver has resistance near $77, with possibilities of reaching $82 and $87 if sustained above this level.
