Gold, silver and oil prices.

Global commodity markets moved higher on Wednesday, with oil and precious metals extending gains as investors reacted to renewed geopolitical tensions and sought safe-haven assets.

Oil prices rose for a second consecutive session, supported by concerns over escalating tensions in the Middle East and potential risks to supply routes. Brent crude was trading at around $68 per barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) stood near $64 per barrel, as markets priced in a higher risk premium .

In precious metals markets, gold continued a strong rally, climbing more than 2% to trade at approximately $5,070 per ounce. The surge was driven by heightened demand for safe-haven assets amid geopolitical uncertainty and volatility in global financial markets .

Silver also advanced sharply, rising to around $87–88 per ounce, tracking gold’s gains and benefiting from increased investor interest in precious metals as a hedge against risk.

Analysts said markets remain sensitive to developments in the Middle East and broader global economic signals, with commodity prices likely to remain volatile in the near term as investors assess geopolitical risks and monetary policy expectations.
