Gold settles at $4,529.15; silver jumps to $70.75 as safe-haven bids return

Gold, silver, and PGMs finished higher Monday, with several outlets pointing to renewed but still “modest” safe-haven demand tied to the Middle East conflict. At the same time, multiple reports said higher U.S. rates and a firm dollar are still a headwind, leaving gold on track for a tough month despite today’s gains.

  4. Rates and the dollar were still described as pressure points: Investing.com said higher rates (and rising oil) kept the Fed hawkish and weighed on gold, and in a separate note said gold’s safe-haven appeal weakened as the U.S. dollar and rates rose.

Every point cites the reports it came from. On Fridays it writes a recap of the week.
