🚨 WAR UNCERTAINTY CONTINUES – GOLD UNDER PRESSURE, SILVER HOLDS STRENGTH
🌍 GLOBAL MACRO — WHAT’S MOVING THE MARKET TODAY
Trump declared the Iran war “very close to over” in a Fox Business interview Wednesday, saying “they want to make a deal very badly.” CNBC The US and Iran are actively considering a two-week ceasefire extension to allow more time for peace negotiations, even as the Strait of Hormuz standoff intensifies.
Gold is trading above $4,800/oz, supported by hopes of a US-Iran deal, a dollar index near six-week lows, and crude oil retreating below $90/barrel. TRADING ECONOMICS Silver climbed above $80/oz on Thursday, approaching one-month highs as investors assess the outlook for renewed US-Iran negotiations and a potential long-term peace deal.
Key macro factors active right now:
Federal Reserve in wait-and-see mode — markets have dialled back hawkish expectations as the Fed evaluates inflation risks from the Middle East conflict.
Silver Institute warns of a sixth consecutive year of structural deficit, with 762 million troy ounces drawn from global stocks since 2021 — raising the risk of a liquidity squeeze.
The US naval blockade of Iranian ports is fully implemented, completely cutting off Tehran’s international sea trade — ceasefire remains fragile.
Second round of US-Iran talks expected in Islamabad shortly — outcome will be the next major trigger for gold direction.

📊 Tradeline View — Gold
Gold is under pressure and the broader bias remains to the downside. Institutional players still hold their net short positions — however, approximately 30% of those positions have been covered, which created a temporary bounce. This upside must not be mistaken for strength. The rally is being driven purely by retail buyers and a small syndicate — both operating on low volume. Their holding capacity is limited. As volume remains thin, a breakdown from current levels is the higher probability outcome.
Watch the ceasefire news closely. Any breakdown in US-Iran talks or a Hormuz escalation will immediately push gold lower on MCX as the “peace trade” unwinds. Conversely, a formal ceasefire extension announcement could squeeze shorts briefly toward 1,55,850 — which is why we carry the alternate buy level.
Bias: SELL on rise. Primary target 1,51,000.
