Investor retreat from gold as a safe-haven asset was partly driven by the de-escalation of the US-China trade war. Beijing and Washington reached an import agreement under which both countries committed to lowering recently imposed tariffs from 125% to 10% for a 90-day period<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gold’s appeal also diminished due to easing tensions between Pakistan and India. Armed conflicts and the threat of full-scale war were unexpectedly suspended following the announcement of an official ceasefire agreement<\/a> over the past weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The demand for silver is being stimulated by trade agreements that are less favourable to gold. The US-China tariff truce enables the world’s two largest economies to conduct silver import-export operations more easily and cost-effectively. This supports industrial demand in sectors such as renewable energy.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The global platinum price rose by around 1.2% over the same period, reaching $992\/oz on 13 May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n From 7 to 13 May, the global copper price increased by approximately 1.5%, reaching $9,552\/tonne on 13 May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite its price rise, driven by fears of potential specific US copper import tariff<\/a> and the latest US-China trade agreement, copper is also facing the problem of a significant global supply surplus. Experts from the International Copper Study Group (ICSG) forecast that this year’s market surplus could reach as much as 289,000 tonnes<\/a>. The growing risk of serious oversupply is prompting some traders to unwind copper’s long positions opened in anticipation of optimistic price rise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":9814,"template":"","izvalgos_categories":[46],"class_list":["post-9834","izvalgos","type-izvalgos","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","izvalgos_categories-market-reviews"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/novitera.lt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/izvalgos\/9834","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/novitera.lt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/izvalgos"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/novitera.lt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/izvalgos"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novitera.lt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9814"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/novitera.lt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9834"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"izvalgos_categories","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novitera.lt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/izvalgos_categories?post=9834"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Industrial demand for silver may also be indirectly supported by the newly announced US\u2013UK trade agreement. The deal includes tariff reductions on various UK exports<\/a> to the US, including automobiles, aircraft components, steel, aluminium, and other goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Palladium price saw minimal change last week, decreasing by roughly 1.2% between 7 and 13 May. On 13 May, the metal was trading at $954\/oz.<\/p>\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/novitera.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Ekrano-kopija-2025-05-13-153341.png\")
