Bullion faces choppy week as dollar, US-Iran risks test sentiment: Analysts
Gold and silver are set for another bout of turbulence in the coming week, as movement in the US dollar and unresolved US-Iran tensions cloud the outlook, analysts said. On the domestic front, investors will watch the Reserve Bank of India's monetary policy decision on Wednesday, with a 25 basis points rate hike expected.

US sends thousands of troops to West Asia as Trump weighs new Iran strikes
The US military is dispatching roughly 9,000 troops aboard a group of ships to the Middle East, a US official said Thursday. The bolstering of the American military presence comes as President Donald Trump warned that new strikes against Iran could be on the horizon. The troop movement, which includes a third aircraft carrier, underscores the rapidly evolving dynamic of Trump's war against Iran as he ponders his next move, with midterm elections in the United States looming large and new signs that the nature of the conflict may be becoming more complex. Trump has threatened that a post-midterm election escalation - despite his initial promises to Americans of a campaign that would last a matter of weeks - remains a viable option.
