Why are oil prices up, while gold, silver prices down today along with upcoming US stock market futures crash? This question is being asked by investors after major moves across commodity and equity markets. Oil prices climbed after the United States launched fresh military strikes against Iran. At the same time, gold and silver prices fell as traders increased bets on future Federal Reserve rate hikes. U.S. stock market futures also turned lower as concerns over Middle East tensions, inflation, and rising borrowing costs affected investor sentiment. The latest developments have created uncertainty across global financial markets and are influencing decisions involving energy, precious metals, and stocks.
