Spot gold was near steady and spot silver firmer in late-afternoon U.S. trading Monday as renewed Middle East tensions supported safe-haven demand, while firmer U.S. rate expectations after Friday's jobs report capped upside. The move reflects a push-pull between geopolitics and higher-for-longer rate expectations rather than a clear directional catalyst. Overall market impact appears limited to precious metals rather than broad markets.
