Stalled talks between the United States and Iran are causing sharp swings in precious-metal markets. President Trump has recently asked Tehran for compensation related to historic conflicts, a move that halts the current peace negotiations. This abrupt stalemate removes any short-term prospect of re-opening the Strait of Hormuz, pushing global oil prices upward and stoking fresh concerns about inflation. Investors, feeling uneasy, are buying gold and silver as safe-haven assets, and in Pakistan the international turbulence is lifting local metal prices sharply. Local Sarafa traders continuously tweak rates to reflect these broader economic pressures.
