Gold and silver prices surged in late U.S. trading following the Federal Reserve's first rate hike in over three years, supported by a softer U.S. dollar, lower crude oil prices, and declining Treasury yields. Spot gold rose 1.83% to around $4,341.20 an ounce, while silver jumped 3.59% to $65.12. The Fed raised rates by 25 basis points, signaling at least one more hike this year, which keeps medium-term pressure on gold. However, easing oil prices and Treasury yields helped precious metals and equities recover from earlier losses. The market remains cautious, with gold needing to break above $4,354 to confirm a sustained rally, while geopolitical risks continue to influence oil and inflation expectations.
