U.S. gold futures gained 0.4% to $3,054.10.

“For now, gold’s appeal as a safe haven and inflation hedge has further strengthened in light of those geopolitical concerns and tariff uncertainty. We remain constructive on the outlook of gold,” said OCBC forex strategist Christopher Wong.

Spot silver was flat at $33.8 an ounce, platinum fell 0.3% to $989.85. Palladium slipped 1% to $949.50.

    A limited-edition, privy-marked Proof 2025-W American Eagle silver dollar prepared for release June 13 from the United States Mint celebrates the 250th anniversary of establishment of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, on June 14, 1775.

    The commemorative privy-mark — containing elements of the U.S. Army’s official seal — is positioned in the field behind Liberty, to the left of the Y in the inscription LIBERTY.
