Gold tops 1-month high as Middle East tensions spur safe-haven demand
(Reuters) -Gold prices climbed on Friday to their highest point in more than a month, on track for a weekly gain, as investors sought safe-haven assets after Israel's strike on Iran heightened Middle East tensions. Spot gold was up 1.3% at $3,428.28 an ounce, as of 0134 GMT, after hitting its highest level since May 7 earlier in the session. Bullion has gained more than 3.5% so far this week. U.S. gold futures gained 1.4% to $3,449.60. Geopolitical tensions escalated after Israel struck Iran as tensions mounted over U.S. efforts to halt Iran's production of atomic bomb materials. "This latest spike in hostilities in the Middle East has taken the focus off trade negotiations for now, with investors making a play towards safe-haven assets in response," said Tim Waterer, chief market analyst at KCM Trade. Israel declared a state of emergency, citing expected missile and drone attacks from Tehran, and the U.S. military is preparing for various contingencies in the Middle East, including potential assistance with evacuating American civilians, a U.S. official told Reuters on condition of anonymity. "Gold surged past resistance around the $3400 on news of the airstrikes, and further upside could be in-store should the escalation continue," Waterer said. Signaling a cooling U.S. labor market and subdued inflation pressures, the number of Americans filing new applications for unemployment benefits held at an eight-month high last week, while slowing domestic demand helped to restrain producer prices in May. The data released a day after the Labor Department reported a moderate rise in consumer prices in May, bolstered expectations of an earlier rate cut. Traders are now expecting a 55-basis-point rate cut by the year-end, starting in September rather than October as previously anticipated. [USDIRPR] Elsewhere, spot silver edged down 0.1% at $36.33 per ounce, platinum fell 0.8% to $1,285.21, while palladium was steady at $1,055.21. All three metals were headed for weekly gain.

Stock Market LIVE: Sensex down 1,000pts, Nifty below 24,550 amid Israel-Iran war; Nifty Oil down 2%
Sensex Today | Stock Market LIVE on Friday, June 13, 2025: Around 8:50 AM, GIFT Nifty futures were trading 299 points lower at 24,638, indicating a gap-down start for the bourses. Stock Market LIVE on Friday, June 13, 2025: Benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty, are likely to be guided by better-than expected May inflation data, Israel's strike on Iran, softer US economic data, institutional flows, along with mixed global cues on the final trading day of the week. That said, around 8:50 AM, GIFT Nifty futures were trading 299 points lower at 24,638, indicating a gap-down start for the bourses. India's retail inflation eased to 2.82 per cent in May, down from 3.16 per cent in April, marking its lowest level since February 2019, when it stood at 2.57 per cent. The decline was driven by a favourable base effect, a sharp drop in vegetable prices, and the steepest fall in pulses prices in over six years—creating more space for the RBI's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) to maintain its current policy stance. Asia-Pacific markets traded mixed on Friday as reports of an Israeli military strike on Iran weighed on investor sentiment, even as Wall Street closed higher on encouraging US economic data. Israel launched a preemptive strike on Iran early Friday, Defense Minister Israel Katz said, following US President Trump's warning of a possible Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear sites. Katz added that a missile and drone retaliation from Iran is expected soon. A state of emergency has been declared. Given that, Nikkei dropped 1.16 per cent, and the Topix fell a little over 1 per cent. The Kospi declined 0.67 per cent, while ASX 200 slipped 0.17 per cent. US stock futures edged lower in early trade, but key indexes are set to end the week in positive territory. May producer prices in the US rose just 0.1 per cent—below the 0.2 per cent forecast—boosting market confidence after a similarly soft consumer inflation report earlier this week. The data supported a drop in bond yields and lifted equities. Overnight, Wall Street saw broad gains. The S&P 500 climbed 0.38 per cent. The Nasdaq Composite rose 0.24 per cent, while the Dow Jones gained 0.24 per cent. FII, DII On the institutional activity front, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) net sold shares worth ₹3,831.42 crore. On the other hand, domestic institutional investors (DIIs) bought shares worth ₹9,393.85 crore on June 12.

Commodity corner Gold prices climbed to a one-week high on Thursday, supported by escalating Middle East tensions and softer US economic data, which strengthened expectations of a potential Federal Reserve rate cut. Spot gold rose 1.1 per cent to $3,387.99 an ounce, while US gold futures surged 2.0 per cent to $3,410.70.

Asian stocks slide, oil and gold jump after Israel strikes Iran
Stocks dived in early Asian trade on Friday, led by a selloff in U.S. futures, while oil prices jumped after Israel conducted a military strike on Iran, sending investors scurrying to safe havens such as gold and the Swiss franc. ADVERTISEMENT The Israeli attack raises the risk of a fresh escalation in tensions in the Middle East, a major oil producing region, and comes at a time of heightened pressure on the global economy and financial markets from U.S. President Donald Trump's shakeup of trade policies. Market reaction was swift, with U.S. S&P E-mini futures slumping 1.5% as of 0055 GMT and Nasdaq futures skidding 1.7%.
