Silver and platinum prices should remain firm, underpinned by industrial demand and constrained supply,” the World Bank said in late June.“Risks are tilted to the upside, particularly from renewed geopolitical tensions, policy uncertainty, and financial market volatility,” it added.The outlook is underpinned by renewed tensions between the U.S. and Iran. Conflict increased after Iran attacked three commercial ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz earlier this week, following which the U.S. initiated strikes against the Middle Eastern country and revoked a previous license that had lifted sanctions on Iran's oil.Meanwhile, Trump told reporters on Thursday that he is unsure whether the U.S. and Iran are heading back into a full-scale war, after he mentioned previously that the U.S. may not be interested in negotiating a deal with Iran any longer. The president had also said that the ceasefire between the two countries was “over.”Meanwhile, central bank buying of gold is also expected to continue, bolstering prices.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Precious Metals Targets</h2>The World Bank expects gold prices to rise by about 37% in 2026 before declining by 9% in 2027.
