Oil prices steadied on Tuesday amid fading hopes of a deal between the U.S. and Iran to end their war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, after President Donald Trump demanded compensation for damage the U.S. has incurred. Brent crude futures were flat at $87.81 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures held at $82.20 a barrel. Gold rose for a third straight session on Tuesday to hit a more than two-month high, while market participants focused on upcoming inflation data for signals on the U.S. interest-rate outlook. Spot gold was up 0.5% at $4,411.77 per ounce, its highest level since June 5. U.S. gold futures rose 1.2% to $4,472.10. Among other precious metals, silver rose 0.2% to $65.89 an ounce. Platinum and palladium also pushed higher. The US Dollar Index was steady around 99.8 after rising 0.2% in the previous session, supported by a weaker yen and higher Treasury yields, while investors awaited US inflation data for cues on the Fed’s interest-rate path. ### Related Stocks - [UCO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/UCO.US.md) - [SGOL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SGOL.US.md) - [UGL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/UGL.US.md) - [GLD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GLD.US.md) - [PALL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/PALL.US.md) - [USO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/USO.US.md) - [IAU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/IAU.US.md) - [BNO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BNO.US.md) - [GLDM.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GLDM.US.md) - [SCO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SCO.US.md) - [03097.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/03097.HK.md) - [518850.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/518850.CN.md) - [GOLD.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GOLD.AU.md) - [SIVR.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SIVR.US.md) - [GLDW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GLDW.US.md) - [PPLT.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/PPLT.US.md) - [VDE.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/VDE.US.md) - [SLV.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SLV.US.md) - [XLE.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/XLE.US.md) - [IXC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/IXC.US.md) - [XOP.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/XOP.US.md) - [IEO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/IEO.US.md) - [IEZ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/IEZ.US.md) - [OIH.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/OIH.US.md) - [XES.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/XES.US.md) - [PXJ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/PXJ.US.md) - [CRAK.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/CRAK.US.md) - [ERX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ERX.US.md) - [ERY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ERY.US.md) - [DUG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/DUG.US.md) - [MLPA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MLPA.US.md) - [03175.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/03175.HK.md) ## Related News & Research - [PRECIOUS-Gold dips from two-month peak as inflation-led rally loses steam](https://longbridge.com/en/news/295912105.md) - [PRECIOUS-Gold retreats as bond yields surge to highest levels in decades](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296241483.md) - [GRAPHIC-Gold shows early signs of reclaiming safe-haven appeal after Iran war selloff](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296127032.md) - [Oil eases as weaker demand outlook counters Mideast supply concerns](https://longbridge.com/en/news/295744721.md) - [PRECIOUS-Gold edges lower as markets await key US inflation data](https://longbridge.com/en/news/295568633.md)
