Last Week’s Market Recap
⬇️
From May 25 to May 29, precious metals ended slightly lower overall, with both gold and silver slipping modestly over the week.

Markets were caught between hopes for progress in U.S.-Iran ceasefire talks, which helped ease oil prices and weaken the dollar late in the week, and ongoing concerns around inflation and U.S. interest rates.

The result was a softer weekly close for both metals, despite some support toward the end of the period.

Gold price
Over the past week, gold declined 0.19%, moving from a weekly high of $4,598/oz ($147.83 per gram) on May 25 to a low of $4,387/oz ($141.04 per gram) on May 28, before rising again toward the end of the week.

Silver price
Silver declined 0.49% over the week, moving from a weekly high of $80.47/oz ($2.59 per gram) on May 25 to a low of $72.62/oz ($2.33 per gram) on May 28, before recovering part of its losses.

⚖️ In uncertain markets, it’s easy to focus on short-term price movements. But is gold meant to be a short-term asset?

In Milano Finanza, GOLD AVENUE’s CEO Nicolas Cracco shares his perspective on why short-term volatility is often misunderstood when it comes to physical gold.

💬 “Gold doesn’t fall because investors stop trusting it. It falls because it remains one of the few assets investors can quickly rely on when markets come under pressure.”

Last Week’s Market Recap

Between May 11 and May 15, both gold and silver moved lower overall as rising Treasury yields and a stronger U.S. dollar continued to pressure precious metals markets.

At the start of the week, prices remained relatively stable as investors monitored inflation data, geopolitical developments, and broader market sentiment.

However, sentiment weakened midweek as investors reassessed the outlook for Federal Reserve policy following persistent inflation concerns and the nomination of Kevin Warsh as the next Fed Chair, fueling expectations of a more hawkish stance in the months ahead.

Gold price
Over the past week, gold declined -3.67%, falling from a weekly high of $4,777/oz ($153.60 per gram) on May 12 to a low of $4,554/oz ($146.40 per gram) on May 15.
