The lowest gold price reached $4051.7 per ounce. This is the lowest level since early August. Silver also fell: its price dropped below $56 per ounce, approaching a three-month low.

Amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, Brent crude oil rose above $112 per barrel on October 22 for the first time since May during daytime trading. By evening, its price slightly decreased — to $111.3.
