🌍 Geopolitical Update
Tensions in the Middle East remain the dominant theme in global markets as the conflict involving Iran, Israel and the United States continues to escalate.
Recent statements from Donald Trump warned that any attempt by Iran to disrupt shipping through the Strait of Hormuz would trigger a powerful military response from the United States.
Reports now suggest that the Strait is effectively closed for most commercial tanker traffic, as shipping companies are refusing to risk vessels entering the region due to military tensions and potential naval mines.
Because nearly 20% of global oil supply passes through the Strait of Hormuz, the immediate impact is visible in crude oil volatility and global currency movements.
The first effect of this situation is on energy markets, while the secondary effect is currency pressure across global economies. As uncertainty rises, the U.S. Dollar remains strong, while risk-sensitive currencies weaken.

🧠 Market Commentary
Gold remains range-bound, despite the ongoing geopolitical tensions. Although the Iran conflict and Hormuz disruption are major headlines, the strongest driver for bullion currently remains U.S. yields and dollar strength.
The 10-Year U.S. Treasury Yield has risen to around 4.27%, which historically pressures gold prices.
Additionally, Open Interest in Gold futures continues to increase, suggesting that market participants are building short positions expecting downside continuation.
Technically, if COMEX Gold closes below $5050 and sustains for 1–2 sessions, the next major target area could be $4900.
Positionally, the broader downside target remains near 153475 (MCX equivalent levels), as mentioned in previous reports.
Previously Gold make a low of 158716 which can be the double bottom which make this price a strong buy price for 1st stroke in Gold, but anything below this price will get into sell only.
🪙 Gold Outlook
Range: 158300 – 161400
Our Preference
Buy Gold @ 158300
Backup Buy @ 157600
🎯 Target: 160600
🛑 Stop Loss: 157400 below sustain
Alternative Scenario:
Sell Gold @ 160700
Backup Sell @ 161300
🎯 Target: 158500
🛑 Stop Loss: 161500+ sustain
Trading Zone
157400 Breakout Sell
🎯 Target: 154374
(Only if price sustains below this level — not just a quick touch.)
If COMEX Gold closes and sustains below $5050 for 1–2 days, the market may attempt $4900 levels.
🥈 Silver Outlook
Range
252500 – 270000
Silver continues to trade within the broader range structure identified earlier.
Yesterday during the European trading session (11 AM – 2 PM IST), Silver saw strong buying pushing prices toward 274000, but the move was followed by profit booking during the U.S. session.
This suggests short positions are being accumulated, potentially targeting $73 in COMEX Silver.
Our Preference
Sell Silver @ 268000
Backup Sell @ 272000
🎯 Target: 258000
🛑 Stop Loss: Above 275000 sustain
Alternative Scenario
Buy Silver @ 255000
Backup Buy @ 251000
🎯 Target: Short-term rebound
🛑 Stop Loss: 249000 below sustain
Positional View
Silver remains within the long-term range of 225000 – 285000.
If prices approach 225000, physical silver buying for long-term holding becomes attractive.
Trading Zone
258000 Buy for momentum trade
