Gold and WTI crude oil face potential pressure into year-end. Energy prices and the Iran war are becoming key issues ahead of the US midterm elections, and gold may test the $4,000-an-ounce support level.

Gold and crude oil face potential pressure heading into year-end, as energy prices and the Iran war become key issues before the US midterm elections.

WTI crude has never ended a calendar year above $100 per barrel. US production costs, however, are estimated at around $55 per barrel.

Gold faces its own pressure. Rising interest rates and stronger political checks and balances could weigh on prices, potentially pushing them below the $4,000-an-ounce support level.

Investors will monitor energy prices, interest rates and election developments.
