AI Market Summary
Middle East escalation risk rose after Yemen's Houthis threatened a naval blockade near the Bab el-Mandeb chokepoint, amplifying energy-supply and inflation concerns. Although potential U.S.-Iran diplomatic engagement tempered oil's move, risk-off positioning lifted safe-haven demand, pushing gold and silver higher in both MCX and international markets. The mix of geopolitical tail risk and rates debate keeps precious metals supported near term.
