Gold Hovers Around $4,500 Amid Dollar Strength and Rate Cut Delays

As the week gets to the mid-point, spot gold has been trading in a tight range around $4,500 an ounce as a firmer dollar, elevated yields on Treasuries and a hawkish Fed exert a drag on prices of the precious metal. The current war happening between the U.S. and Israel on the one hand and Iran on the other would have continued to lift gold prices since the precious metal thrives during turmoil. However, the brakes have been pumped on this expected surge by the USD which has strengthened during this time of the military conflict in the Middle East.…

Slowdown in EV Transition Boosts Optimism in Platinum Markets

The market for platinum group metals has gained a dose of optimism as the transition to electric mobility slows down. The auto industry consumes up to half of all the platinum produced annually while 80-90% of palladium is used within the auto industry. Switching to EVs therefore removes a large share of the market for these metals and would depress demand. These two PGMs are used to make catalytic converters in ICE vehicles, so a rapid transition to EVs would exert downward pressure on demand and the prices of these metals would fall. Analysts say recent developments have helped to…
