What to know

  • The Fed's first rate hike in three years was quickly priced in by the market, with both gold and silver stabilizing despite initial declines.
  • Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline restoration eased inflation concerns and supported broader commodity recovery.
  • Silver surged to a weekly high of $67.89 following the rate decision, while gold remained anchored by record Chinese imports.
  • Geopolitical tensions with Iran and upcoming U.S.-China trade negotiations are key factors keeping precious metals volatile but relatively stable.

“The Fed's decision to raise rates for the first time in three years, combined with the ongoing restoration of Saudi Arabia's key East-West pipeline, has prompted inflation concerns to fade among investors.”
