    U.S. gold futures dropped 2.2% to $3,272.90.

    Silver Continues to See Buyers on Dips

    Silver has initially fallen significantly in the early hours of Tuesday, as the market reacted to the ceasefire, taking out some of the “risk trade.” However, we are holding the range again. Ultimately, there are a lot of “moving pieces” to pay attention to.

    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.

    Gold futures down 1.8%

    The dollar fell to a one-week low against a basket of major currencies as oil prices declined and demand for safe havens waned. Investors can “breathe a sigh of relief that chances of a major escalation have been reduced,” Jefferies economist Mohit Kumar said. The DXY dollar index fell 0.4% to a low of 97.969.

    Gold futures also fell, last down 1.8% at $3,334.50 a troy ounce, close to levels last seen before Israel launched strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities earlier this month.

    Silver falls but don’t worry

    The silver market has plunged during trading on Friday in the early hours, but it looks like the $35.50 region is in fact going to continue to offer support, as it was previous resistance, so you would anticipate a little bit of market memory here.
