Gold prices rose 0.62% to around $4,300 an ounce and silver jumped 1.62% amid early U.S. trading, supported by hopes of a U.S.-Iran truce easing oil supply fears. Oil prices fell as negotiators discussed reopening the Strait of Hormuz and lifting sanctions on Iran, reducing immediate inflation pressures. However, strong U.S. economic data, including durable goods orders and lower jobless claims, reinforced expectations of further Federal Reserve rate hikes, keeping Treasury yields high and limiting gold's weekly gains. Market focus remains on upcoming consumer sentiment and inflation data, with gold bulls eyeing resistance near $4,345 and bears watching support around $4,245.
