Precious Metals Attempt to Cover March Losses

Gold and Silver are attempting to stabilize following the March losses. Gold remains under pressure from the firm US dollar and oil-driven inflation dynamics, whilst silver is supported by resilient industrial demand. Despite near-term weakness, strong physical demand and persistent macro risks suggest the correction may prove temporary.

✅ Gold

• Price: $4,707.7 per troy ounce

• Performance: +5.17% MoM, +42.14% YoY

• Trend: Gold remains in a phase of heightened uncertainty. Geopolitical tensions and safe-haven demand continue to underpin prices, whilst pressure from the oil-driven risk premium, a firm US dollar, and competition for liquidity is constraining further upside.

✅ Silver

• Price: $75.985 per troy ounce

• Performance: +15.36% MoM, +135.93% YoY

• Trend: Silver continues to exhibit elevated volatility. Industrial demand — particularly from solar energy and AI-related infrastructure — remains supportive, whilst constrained physical supply is adding further tension to the market.

Oil Rally Weighs on Gold

Brent crude is advancing on a geopolitical risk premium, whilst gold is coming under pressure from a stronger US dollar and elevated oil prices. At present, the market appears to favor commodities linked to inflation risk over traditional safe-haven assets.

Gold Is Back on the Radar of Major Players

The recent pullback in gold from its highs has been largely driven by central bank selling to address fiscal and currency-related considerations. At the same time, demand from China, Switzerland, and India remains robust, suggesting that the current correction may represent a temporary pause rather than a structural reversal.

U.S. equities remained under pressure, Treasury yields rose even after the Treasury tripled long‑term bond buybacks, and a softer dollar supported gold.
