Spot gold rose 0.2% to $3,934.75 per ounce early Tuesday as oil prices eased to their lowest in nearly four weeks on Iran and Ukraine peace talk hopes. Russia confirmed three-way peace talks with Ukraine and the US in Abu Dhabi for November 10-11, while Iran said it remained far from a deal with the US.
Lower oil reduces inflation worries and cuts expectations for prolonged high rates, which supports non-yielding bullion; the market also prices a 78% chance of a Fed hike in December. For feed buyers this is a macro-energy signal with limited direct grain impact.
