- Gold and silver rose as an oil spike lifted bond yields and pressured equities, per Kitco's PM Report.
- Gold moved in opposite directions across outlets — slipping as oil and bond yields climbed on fading US-Iran peace hopes (Reuters), retreating as yields surged to multi-decade highs (TradingView), yet climbing on a weaker dollar as Fed rate-hike concerns eased.
Why it matters: Traders watching gold as a haven during Iran-related geopolitical stress got whipsawed: when peace hopes fade, oil rises and yields climb in tandem, dragging gold with yields rather than letting it act as a safe-haven hedge, while a weaker dollar and easing Fed fears push it the other way.
