    Gold and silver fall

    Spot gold was down 0.4% at $3,101.01 an ounce, as of 0710 GMT. Still, bullion was on track for a fifth consecutive weekly gain, buoyed by its safe-haven appeal that aided gold to reach three record highs this week.

    “Gold tends to rally amid difficult-to-price uncertainty – like the start of a war – but tends to lose that support once markets learn how to price the risks involved,” said Ilya Spivak, head of global macro at Tastylive.

    “The Trump administration seems to have picked a road, and while sentiment clearly doesn’t like it, at least the path of least resistance is more visible and easier to price. That is trimming some of gold’s “market confusion” premium.”

    Spot silver declined 1.5% to $31.4 an ounce, platinum lost 0.8% to $944.80, and palladium was steady at $928.33.

    Cerrado Gold production results

    Mark Brennan, CEO and Chairman commented, “While Q2 results were modestly lower than our expectations as the heap leach continues to ramp up to its fully expanded capacity, we continue to be confident in our full year expectations as the underground operations ramp-up in H2/25. Cerrado also continued to progress both the Lagoa Salgada project and the Mont Sorcier projects towards completion of feasibility studies by Q3/2025 and Q1/2026 respectively, which we believe should demonstrate substantial value being unlocked by Cerrado’s development projects.”

    Gold up 170% in first quarter

    Gold prices have steadied after surging to a record high amid early signs of consolidation following the rally built on fears around U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade policies.

    The precious metal eased to close at $3,287.72 an ounce on Wednesday, down 6.1% from the all-time peak of $3,500.05 hit on April 22.

    Total gold investment flows sky-rocketed by 170% in the first quarter of 2025 from the same period a year earlier, reaching 552 metric tons, the highest since the first quarter in 2022, the WGC said in its report on Wednesday.

    Gold still looks good, dollar dropped

    “The de-escalation of tensions in the Middle East is the primary factor that’s weighing on gold. The safe-haven bid has diminished and the market is in more of a risk-on mode,” said Peter Grant, vice president and senior metals strategist at Zaner Metals.

    “We’ve got pretty good support around $3,300 and then even better support probably at $3,250.”

    Global shares surged and the dollar dropped on Tuesday after news of the ceasefire between Israel and Iran, while markets shrugged off what U.S. President Donald Trump called violations by both sides.
