America will continue attacking Iran

According to experts, Donald Trump’s statement that America will continue military operations against Iran for the coming weeks has increased uncertainty in the market. Gold is usually considered a “safe haven” during such times of stress, but this time investors reacted differently and started booking profits, leading to a sharp fall in prices.

Apart from this, expectations of cutting interest rates by the US Federal Reserve remain low. Inflation pressures are still high, so the Fed is taking cautious steps and a rate cut before the end of 2026 appears unlikely. But for now, investing in gold and silver is not free from danger.
