What happened
Gold and silver prices climbed as markets reversed part of the Federal Reserve's rate hike stance since 2023, according to reports. This rebound coincided with Saudi Aramco beginning to restore capacity on the damaged East-West pipeline. Previously, high oil prices had fueled inflation concerns and kept expectations of central bank rate increases high.

Why it matters
The restoration of capacity by Saudi Aramco led to a pullback in oil prices. This shift, combined with a softer U.S. dollar, drove gains in precious metals and mining stocks. Earlier, elevated energy prices had pushed bond yields higher, contributing to investor expectations that the Federal Reserve would raise short-term borrowing costs.
