OCBC Bank analysts Sim Moh Siong and Christopher Wong highlighted renewed headwinds for the precious-metals complex, citing the recent surge in oil prices and its knock-on effects on inflation and interest rates.

According to the note, gold has fallen nearly 2% and silver more than 4% week-to-date, as geopolitical risks primarily transmit through the oil channel, weighing on the outlook for bullion.

The analysts suggest that the interplay between higher energy costs and tighter monetary policy expectations continues to cap upside for gold in the near term.
