Global Markets
(A) Precious Metals

Gold fell 1.12% to $4,211.74/oz as traders focused on higher U.S. rate expectations ahead of key CPI data. The metal came under pressure as rising yields and a firmer dollar reduced demand for non-yielding assets. Ilya Spivak of Tastylive said there had been a “major hawkish shift” in central bank expectations.
Silver: $65.01/oz (-0.50%)
Silver slipped 0.50% to $65.01/oz, tracking weakness in gold and broader precious metals. The move was mainly driven by rate concerns, firm yields, and cautious sentiment before U.S. inflation data.
(B) Energy
Brent Crude: $85.51/bbl (-0.16%)
Brent crude eased 0.16% to $85.51/bbl, but losses stayed limited as markets continued to watch renewed U.S.-Iran tensions and tightening crude supply. Priyanka Sachdeva of Phillip Nova said the latest military exchanges had brought back a geopolitical risk premium into oil markets.
(C) FX
EUR/USD: ~1.1544 (+0.01%)

- Middle East escalation - Fresh U.S.-Iran strikes have brought geopolitical risk back into focus, especially around the Strait of Hormuz and global energy supply.
- Oil inventory pressure - U.S. crude inventories have fallen again, keeping supply concerns active even as markets wait for clearer geopolitical direction.
