Gold Rises Amid Hormuz Strait Reopening and Changing Market Dynamics
Gold prices rose by approximately 1.0% following news that the Strait of Hormuz is 'completely open' for commercial vessels, despite reduced geopolitical risk. The increase was driven by factors such as falling U.S. Treasury yields, lower inflation expectations, and a weaker dollar, which all favor gold. The market is now pricing in a potential shift in Federal Reserve rate expectations.
