Gold Extends Gain as Hormuz Deal Progress Lowers Rate-Hike Odds

Gold extended the biggest gain in six months as signs of progress in reopening the Strait of Hormuz eased energy-led pressure on the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates. Iran said it has reached agreement with Oman on a proposed shipping route through the strait, raising the prospect of some energy flows resuming through the critical waterway. Signs of progress in ending the conflict has markets now fully pricing in only a single US rate increase by year-end, down from two as recently as last week.

  • Gold prices surged due to progress in reopening the Strait of Hormuz, easing concerns about energy-led interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve.
  • Market expectations have shifted, now pricing in only one US rate increase by year-end, which is generally positive for non-yielding assets like gold.
  • Despite positive momentum, a tight energy market remains a hurdle for a sustained gold bull run, while the Bank of Korea explores purchasing domestically refined gold.
