      Gold prices have been under pressure since the start of the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran in late February. The effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz has led to ‌a sharp increase in global oil prices, stoking inflation concerns and raising expectations of interest rates staying higher for longer.

      Though traditionally ⁠seen as an inflation hedge, gold loses appeal in a high interest-rate environment as the opportunity cost of holding the non-yielding asset increases.

      Markets see a 64% chance of a U.S. interest rate hike in December this year after the peace deal, down from 69% last week, according to the CME FedWatch tool.
