Last week, the Gold price stayed within a tight $200 high-to-low trading range. The Gold price was waiting for direction from last weekend’s meeting in Pakistan between the U.S. and Iran. The big question is whether the ceasefire will remain in place or if the U.S. and Israel will resume military action against Iran. Last Friday evening, President Trump stated that he would know within 24 hours whether the Iranians were serious about a peace agreement.

Since Saturday’s meeting between Iran and the U.S. ended without an agreement, the question now is what will happen next. Will the two-week ceasefire hold? President Trump is threatening to blockade Iran’s oil ports near the Strait of Hormuz on Monday morning, and he says the Iranians will return to negotiations.

Sunday afternoon, the Gold market opened at $4,635 per ounce, down $115 as the U.S. dollar rallied on news that there was no agreement at the Pakistan peace talks. By the time the Chinese Gold market opened, Gold had rallied $70 per ounce.

Key U.S. Economic data to watch this week:

• April 13, Monday: March Existing Home Sales
• April 14, Tuesday: March Producer Price Index (PPI)
• April 15, Wednesday: March Import Price Index
• April 16, Thursday: April Initial Jobless Claims

Today: As Gold trading moved into the U.K. and U.S. sessions, the U.S. Navy began blockading oil ports and ships in Iran. The Gold price remained above the $4,700 level in active trading. If Gold can stay above $4,700 during this time, it would be bullish for both the short and long term.

Silver followed Gold lower after reports of the failed Iranian peace talks. Silver initially sold off, dropping $3.70 per ounce to $72.20 when trading began. By the time trading opened in Hong Kong, Silver found fresh buyers and was trading at $74.25 per ounce.

Today: After falling to $72.20, the price of Silver has rallied above $74 per ounce in London, and the U.S. Silver reached a high of $74.66 today before experiencing some light selling.
