Gold holds above $4,200 as Hormuz risk premium unwinds

Spot gold is steady while spot silver is weaker in early U.S. trading, as oil prices fell sharply on U.S.-Iran deal hopes. U.S. equity futures edged higher, and traders are awaiting the next inflation-expectations reading. The move appears modest and sentiment is broadly neutral, driven by cross-asset positioning rather than a single catalyst.
