Precious Metals Market: Price Stabilization

Last week, the major precious metals markets experienced a period of price stabilization. This was mainly driven by optimistic geopolitical developments, changes in the oil price sector, and conflicting signals from central bank monetary policies.

The global gold price increased by more than 1% from April 8 to April 14, reaching USD 4,769 per troy ounce. The average gold price in April stands at USD 4,719 per troy ounce.

Relatively optimistic geopolitical news is significantly contributing to gold price stabilization. Although no agreement was reached in the latest high-level negotiations between the United States and Iran, sources familiar with the talks indicate that dialogue between the two countries remains open.

Temporary US–Iran ceasefire signals and indications of a potential long-term agreement are also fuelling new speculation regarding central bank policies. Increasingly, there are opinions that the previously expected sharp interest rate hikes in markets such as the United Kingdom may turn out to be relatively moderate due to optimistic developments in the US–Iran conflict.

A noticeable decline in fears of high inflation and broader economic instability is also contributing to the stabilization of major precious metals prices.

The global silver price increased by more than 2.8% from April 8 to April 14, reaching USD 76.19 per troy ounce. The average silver price in April stands at USD 74.06 per troy ounce.

Positive signals from the US–Iran conflict are also significantly contributing to both the stabilization and growth of silver prices. In response to the temporary ceasefire and expectations of a long-term agreement, global crude oil prices recorded a decline. This type of stabilization is particularly favourable for silver, which is actively used in both industrial production and investment sectors.

The global palladium price increased by more than 1.4% from April 8 to April 14, reaching USD 1,581 per troy ounce. The average palladium price in April stands at USD 1,511 per troy ounce.

The global platinum price increased by more than 2.3% from April 8 to April 14, reaching USD 2,081 per troy ounce. The average platinum price in April stands at USD 1,999 per troy ounce.

From April 8 to April 14, the global copper price increased by nearly 3%, reaching USD 13,092 per tonne.
