en.Wedoany.com Report on Mar 30th, According to analysis by José González, International Editor of the magazine "Rumbo Minero," the precious metals market is undergoing a significant adjustment amid intensifying inflationary pressures and expectations of interest rate hikes. Gold prices have fallen by approximately 25%, while silver has seen an even larger decline of 37%.

González explains that the price movements of gold and silver have an inverse correlation with U.S. interest rates. He clearly states, "If there is inflationary pressure, rising interest rates, and recession risks, gold and silver tend to adjust." When interest rates rise, the appeal of precious metals diminishes relative to other financial instruments denominated in U.S. dollars.

The global context also exerts pressure on the market. Oil prices remain around $100 per barrel due to the Strait of Hormuz crisis, elevating global inflation risks and prompting monetary policy adjustments, which in turn affect the performance of gold and silver. In contrast, copper prices maintain a stable trend supported by Chinese demand. González adds, "Copper prices are recovering because China is accumulating inventory ahead of the resumption of industrial activity." This difference highlights the diverse reactions of different metals to market volatility.
