Hamdan: Gold fell more than 1% on Wednesday, hitting its lowest level in 11 weeks, as the dollar and oil prices rose amid renewed fighting stemming from US violations of the ceasefire with Iran.

Oil prices rose 1%, fueling inflation concerns and reinforcing expectations that interest rates will remain high for an extended period. Silver fell 1.5 percent to $64.43 an ounce in spot trading, platinum dropped 2.8 percent to $1,678.10, and palladium declined 0.8 percent to $1,212.31.
