Amillex Daily Market Review | Gold Reclaims the $4,400 Level; Escalating Geopolitical Tensions Surge Oil Prices by Nearly 7%

On the morning of Tuesday, August 11, 2026, during early Asian trading, global commodity markets experienced a strong rebound. Spot gold surged past the $4,400/oz mark intraday. Gold prices found solid support driven by technical buying, continuous central bank purchases globally, and safe-haven demand ahead of key inflation data releases. Meanwhile, the energy market witnessed severe volatility. Following a nearly 7% surge on Monday, WTI crude oil continued to trade near high levels at $82.10/barrel early Tuesday. The ongoing geopolitical friction between the US and Iran has dimmed prospects for a agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, instantly igniting bullish sentiment over potential supply disruptions.

Looking ahead, market focus is strictly locked on the upcoming US core inflation data. If inflation cools down, expectations for Federal Reserve easing will further boost gold prices; conversely, resilient inflation may temporarily cap gold’s upside potential. For crude oil, the follow-up developments in diplomatic negotiations will serve as the core variable driving short-term price movements. If tensions in the Strait of Hormuz remain at a standstill, oil prices may embark on a new round of upward consolidation.
