Global Gold and Silver Head for a Weekly Loss as US Bond Yields Climb

According to Mehr News Agency, gold fell 0.14% to $4,268.55 an ounce in trading on Friday morning, September 25, 2026 (3 Mehr 1405), and is on course for a weekly loss of more than 2% if the trend holds. Silver slipped 0.36% to $63.592 an ounce and is heading for a weekly drop of about 4%. The latest gold rate on Sahmino's price page as of 11:29 Tehran time that day was $4,281.47, up 0.37% on the previous day, meaning the metal recovered part of its morning loss by midday.

Mehr cited a stronger dollar and rising US Treasury yields as the main pressures: the 30-year yield reached its highest level since 2004 on Thursday, September 24, and the dollar index stood near a two-month high. Elevated oil prices and stronger-than-expected US economic data have added to concerns about persistent inflation and further rate increases. The global ounce price is one of the two main drivers of gold and coin prices in Iran's domestic market.
