Gold prices face volatility as Fed rate decision, crude oil and geopolitics loom

Gold and silver prices are entering a volatile week as key macroeconomic and geopolitical events take center stage. The US Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision on July 30 will be the primary driver, followed by fluctuations in crude oil prices and heightened US-Iran tensions. Analysts at major brokerages note that these factors will likely dictate short-term price movements in the bullion market. Investors are advised to monitor the Fed’s stance on inflation and the evolving geopolitical landscape, which could trigger sharp price swings.
