Market will depend on America-Iran tension
Experts believe that the next movement of gold and silver will depend on these two things:
- Middle East crisis: If tensions between Iran and America increase further or crude oil prices rise again, gold and silver may rise again.
- US data: If US economic data comes out better than expected, the dollar will strengthen and this may put pressure on gold prices.
Expert opinion: Is it right to buy gold now? According to experts, after touching record high, gold is currently in ‘correction phase’ (improvement in prices). The momentum may have weakened a bit in the short term, but the bullish trend continues in the long term. In such a situation, investors can invest in gold little by little.
