Gold Tumbles as Investors Await Fed Speech, Silver Shines with 1.5% Gain
Gold prices dipped slightly to around $4,593 as investors await Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's Jackson Hole speech and the Labor Department's payroll revision. The event has market participants guessing whether Warsh will take a hawkish or dovish tone on rate hikes.
The silver price rose by 1.5%, trading above $70, due to industrial demand and momentum. Market uncertainty, fueled by geopolitical tensions near the Strait of Hormuz, continues to support safe-haven demand for gold.
