Gold and silver slump as yields and dollar rise curb safe-haven demand amid Iran conflict

Gold prices have fallen about 25% from late January highs, with silver down roughly 50% from its peak, as higher US Treasury yields and a stronger dollar attract liquidity away from non-yielding metals despite ongoing Iran-related energy concerns.

Silver at a Crossroads: Hawkish Fed and Oil Inflation Could Spark a Major Move

Silver prices slumped as a hawkish Federal Reserve and oil-driven inflation outweighed geopolitics, pressing the metal toward a key support level.

Gold, Silver & Platinum Forecast: Gold Stalls Near $5,000 as Pullback Persists

Silver Miners Poised for Growth as Production Expands and Prices Rally

The article argues that silver mining stocks with production growth—especially near-term producers and late-stage developers—offer attractive upside over the next 2–3 years as silver breaks out and miners show strong free cash flow margins (about 50%), though valuations lag. A broad, low‑allocation exposure to producers with scalable output is recommended to manage mining-specific risks, with a bull case targeting ~$7,000 gold and ~$200 silver and examples including Silver Mountain Resources (AGMRF).
