On the morning of February 11, gold, silver, and crude oil prices experienced a sharp upward surge. At the time of reporting, spot gold was trading at $5,046 per ounce, up 0.37%; spot silver stood at $81.449 per ounce, rising 0.86%; and WTI crude oil reached $64.3 per barrel, increasing by 0.53%.

The price movement followed renewed pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump on Iran. Trump stated that he is considering deploying an additional U.S. aircraft carrier strike group to the Middle East if negotiations with Iran fail to yield results, preparing for potential military action.

Previously, an unnamed U.S. official indicated that the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group had already entered the U.S. Central Command's area of responsibility in the western Indian Ocean. Should the White House order strikes against Iran, the carrier group could theoretically launch military operations within "a day or two."

Trump anticipates that the second round of U.S.-Iran negotiations will take place next week. He emphasized that any agreement with Iran must address not only nuclear issues but also Iran's ballistic missile program. He added, "We can reach a very good deal with Iran."
