Commodity markets were influenced last week by geopolitical risks in the Middle East, US inflation data, and expectations regarding Federal Reserve (Fed) monetary policy. While gold and platinum declined, silver and palladium rose, with Brent crude oil showing volatility due to ongoing tensions despite potential diplomatic progress between the US and Iran.
Key points
- Geopolitical risks stemming from the Middle East were a key determinant of commodity pricing last week.
- US inflation data showed Consumer Price Index (CPI) at 4.2% annually, while Core CPI was 2.9%, suggesting persistent inflationary pressures.
- The Fed's hawkish stance—suggesting interest rate cuts are not imminent—put downward pressure on precious metals like gold and platinum.
- Silver and palladium outperformed other precious metals, rising despite the general market pressure from inflation data and Fed expectations.
- Market volatility was heightened by potential changes in Fed communication and geopolitical developments affecting energy prices.

AI insight
AI-generatedThe US Dollar is expected to strengthen immediately (1-3%) due to persistent high inflation and hawkish Fed expectations. Commodity oil faces an initial downward correction (magnitude 2) as risk premiums are removed, while global energy service valuations are also pressured. Main risk: if commodity price volatility triggers a temporary flight from risk, the USD appreciation may weaken.
The rise in U.S. inflation (CPI/PPI) strengthens the expectation that the Federal Reserve will maintain high interest rates, impacting global capital flows and currency strength (FX_USD). The combination of geopolitical risk reduction (potential US-Iran agreement) and strong inflation data led to a sharp decline in Brent crude oil prices, signaling reduced immediate supply fears or increased demand uncertainty. This affects energy importers globally.

Historical parallels
- High inflation data combined with geopolitical de-escalation often leads to short-term commodity price corrections as risk premiums are removed, followed by potential volatility.
This analysis would be wrong if
If geopolitical de-escalation is confirmed and sustained, or if major inventory reports (EIA) show sufficient supply, leading to an immediate unwinding of risk premiums.
The US Dollar is expected to strengthen immediately due to persistent high inflation and hawkish Fed expectations. The appreciation risk remains high.
