Geopolitical Tensions and Market Impact
The ongoing tensions between the US, Iran, and Israel are affecting the markets. Despite the focus on the US and Iran, the core of the conflict lies between Israel and Iran. A meeting between Trump and Xi Jinping did not produce any concrete steps regarding the US-Iran-Israel situation, leading to a rise in oil prices, reaching around $107. In contrast, precious metals like gold and silver experienced a significant drop.
Silver's Volatility
Silver is more volatile compared to gold, with prices that can rise or fall rapidly. Investing in silver requires patience due to these sudden fluctuations. Recently, silver prices surged and then sharply declined, experiencing a loss of over 6% in a single day, with spot silver dropping to $77.
Market Reactions to Trump-Xi Meeting
The main focus of global markets this week was the meeting between US President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. However, no progress was made regarding the US-Israel-Iran conflict or the critical Strait of Hormuz. This lack of resolution increased market tension, causing oil prices to rise again, with Brent Crude reaching $109 per barrel.
Precious Metals Decline
The lack of progress in resolving geopolitical tensions led to selling pressure on precious metals. Silver's decline was mirrored by gold, which fell below the critical level of $4,600 per ounce, dropping nearly 3% to $4,530 during the day. Domestically, the price of gram gold fell to 6,660 lira, and quarter gold decreased to 10,856 lira.
Silver as a Promising Investment
Despite recent fluctuations, silver has been the top performer over the last five years. Investors planning for 2027 and 2028 could potentially see substantial gains from investments in silver.
