The Iran peace deal was supposed to hurt gold. It didn’t. Here’s why oil falling 5% is pushing gold higher — and what that tells long-term holders about the monetary chain driving precious metals right now.

Gold & Silver Surge on Iran Peace Deal — Then Pull Back

Gold and silver surged Friday on Iran peace deal hopes, then pulled back. The real story is the oil drop — and the inflation chain it may be unwinding. Here’s the mechanism behind today’s move and what it means heading into the Fed’s first meeting under Kevin Warsh on June 16–17.

Silver Falls 6% on Jobs Beat. The Six-Year Deficit Didn’t.

Silver fell nearly 6% after May’s blowout jobs report sent rate hike odds to 67% and the 10-year Treasury to 4.54%. Gold dropped too — but only half as much. Here’s why: silver runs on two engines. The jobs report hit the monetary one hard. The industrial one — solar, EVs, AI infrastructure — didn’t flinch. And the World Silver Survey 2026 deficit of 46.3 million ounces? Unchanged.
