Market participants pointed to strong global cues for the rally. International gold prices climbed more than 1 per cent on Wednesday. A weaker US dollar made dollar-priced metals cheaper for buyers holding other currencies. This encouraged foreign and domestic buyers alike to increase purchases.
Another supporting factor was easing oil prices. Softer crude costs eased worries about inflation and the threat of long-term high interest rates. With inflation fears cooling, traders grew more confident in gold and silver.

Geopolitical developments added further support to bullion prices. Comments from US officials about a possible reduction in tensions in the Middle East helped brighten risk sentiment. Gold is often seen as a safe-haven asset, and any hint of peace tends to lift its appeal.
Silver also benefited from the global uptick. Spot silver prices jumped sharply, outperforming many other commodities. Other precious metals such as platinum and palladium also saw gains on worldwide markets.
