Gold prices are rising as tensions in the Middle East begin to ease. This follows an announcement by U.S. President Donald Trump to temporarily pause a plan aimed at providing safe passage for ships through the Strait of Hormuz, reducing immediate geopolitical risks. According to analyst Vivek Dhar, gold prices have generally moved opposite to Middle East tensions since peaking earlier this year, but the current rise is being supported by other factors. These include growing hopes for a ceasefire, expectations of future interest rate cuts as high energy prices slow global economic growth, and concerns about central bank independence. As a result, gold remains strong, with spot prices up about 1.5% and trading near $4,625 per ounce.

Gold climbed above $4,750 on Tuesday, trading near three-week highs as rising Middle East tensions boosted demand for safe-haven assets. Concerns grew after uncertainty around the US-Iran ceasefire and ongoing disruption in the Strait of Hormuz pushed oil prices higher, adding to inflation worries in global markets.
The metal also found support from a weaker US dollar, making gold more attractive for investors. At the same time, reports that the US could consider further military action in the region kept market sentiment cautious.
Investors are now closely watching upcoming US inflation data, which could provide further direction for both the dollar and gold prices.
