Stock market live: CoinSwitch CEO says Fed meeting, inflation outlook and liquidity trends are key for crypto and risk assets
Ashish Singhal, Co-founder and CEO, CoinSwitch.
“The Federal Reserve is widely expected to keep interest rates unchanged at the upcoming FOMC meeting. The real focus, however, will be on the Fed’s commentary around inflation, economic growth, and the future path of monetary policy.
The meeting comes amid heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, which have pushed up energy prices and could influence inflation expectations. While such developments can trigger short-term volatility across equities and crypto markets, these reactions are typically driven by uncertainty and tend to moderate as more clarity emerges.
For crypto and other risk assets, liquidity remains the primary driver. Geopolitical events may create temporary market swings, but the medium- to long-term direction will continue to be shaped by inflation trends, interest rate expectations, and the pace of monetary easing.”

Commodities market live: Gold holds above $4,300, silver above $70 as US-Iran peace deal and central bank moves shape outlook
Renisha Chainani, head of research at Augmont, write - •\u0009Price Movement – Gold is holding above $4,300 and silver above $70 as markets position ahead of the formal signing of a US-Iran peace agreement. The deal is expected to restore oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz, easing inflation concerns and softening the case for further Fed tightening. December rate hike odds have retreated to 60% from 70% the prior week, per the CME FedWatch Tool.
•\u0009Geopolitical Developments – The agreement, announced by President Trump, establishes an immediate 60-day ceasefire across all fronts and opens a structured window for technical negotiations. It extends the April ceasefire by another 60 days and unlocks a key global oil artery that Iran has kept closed since February.
•\u0009Macro-economic Signals – On the macro side, the Bank of Japan’s rate hike to 1% has firmed Japanese yields, which could limit gold’s near-term upside. However, the Fed is widely expected to hold rates, and a constructive economic outlook from the upcoming meeting could extend gold’s rally. Persistent central bank buying continues to anchor structural demand.
Technical Triggers\u0009
•\u0009Gold holds above $4,300, with resistance at $4,500–$4,550 and support at $4,060.
•\u0009Silver sustains trade above $70, targeting $72–$75, with critical support at $60–$61. A decisive break above $78–$80 resistance would signal a stronger bullish rally in silver.

Commodities market live: Gold gains as U.S.-Iran peace hopes ease inflation concerns; Fed policy and BOJ rate hike in focus
Motilal Oswal Financial services Ltd
Manav Modi Commodities Analyst Motilal Oswal Financial services Ltd
Gold prices edged higher, extending gains from previous session as easing inflation concerns and a steady U.S. dollar continued to support bullion following the announcement of a preliminary U.S.-Iran peace framework.
The proposed agreement, which is expected to be formally signed in Switzerland on Friday, aims to end months of conflict, reopen Strait of Hormuz, and lift the U.S. naval blockade on Iran. Oil prices fell below $80 for the first time since March, easing concerns over energy-driven inflation that had previously fueled expectations of aggressive central bank tightening and weighed heavily on gold. While softer inflation outlook has reduced market expectations for Fed rate hikes, investors remain cautious ahead of the Fed’s policy decision scheduled later today, the first under new Chair Kevin Warsh.
The central bank is widely expected to keep rates unchanged, but its updated economic projections and policy guidance will be closely watched for clues on the future rate path. Meanwhile, the BOJ raised its policy rate to 1.0%, highest level in 31 years. Market participants now also await greater clarity on U.S.-Iran agreement, particularly regarding Iran’s nuclear commitments and the timeline for implementation, while the Fed meeting remains the key near-term driver for gold and silver prices.
