Gold prices surged in early Asian trading on Monday, climbing about 2% to trade above $4,300 per ounce.

The rally in precious metals was spurred by U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement on Sunday that a ceasefire agreement had been reached with Iran. This development has eased concerns about inflation and rising interest rates, contributing to the upward trend in gold prices.

Both the United States and Iran are expected to formally sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Friday, June 19, solidifying the ceasefire. This anticipated signing has boosted market confidence and driven demand for gold as a safe-haven asset.

Other precious metals also saw significant gains. Silver prices increased by over 3%, surpassing the important psychological level of $70. The higher volatility of silver compared to gold amplified the market's reaction to the news, leading to a more pronounced surge in its price.
