⚡ Market Pulse
- Gold $5,230.50 (+0.58%) — nudging higher on tariff/geopolitical bid; DXY flat means it’s not FX-driven
- Silver $92.68 (+2.83%) — leading again; breakout-style tape + tech buying = higher beta reflation hedge
- Platinum $2,365.60 (-0.94%) & palladium $1,792.20 (-3.49%) — PGMs lag: this isn’t an industrial-cycle rally
Key driver: Geopolitics/trade-fragmentation premium (tariffs) overpowering the usual rates/FX story — metals acting like a neutrality hedge
Gold holding above $5.2k with the dollar basically unchanged screams “risk premium,” not macro easing. Watch whether this becomes a self-fulfilling flow/positioning chase—or fizzles if the tariff shock gets priced and real yields reassert.
