Gold, silver rebound as yields ease, Hormuz risk premium narrows

Spot gold is firmer and spot silver is sharply higher in early U.S. trading, while Treasury yields have eased from recent peaks and oil prices have pulled back. The move appears driven by lower yields and shifting risk sentiment, even as U.S.-Iran tensions around the Strait of Hormuz remain unresolved. Overall, the piece is a modestly supportive backdrop for precious metals and a mild drag on oil.
