**Why did the prices of gold and silver suddenly fall?**
The temporary agreement signed between America and Iran on June 18 has helped a lot in controlling global tension. With the resumption of energy supplies through the Strait of Hormuz, demand for gold as a safe-haven investment has waned.
Meanwhile, the US Federal Reserve (US Fed) has also hinted at increasing interest rates by 25 basis points by the end of the year to control inflation. As interest rates rise, investors are shifting their capital from gold and silver to government bonds. Another reason for the fall in prices is the rapid rise in the US dollar index, which has reached its highest level since May 2025. Since gold prices in the international market are fixed in dollars, a stronger dollar makes gold more expensive for buyers around the world, thereby reducing its demand.
