Gold and Silver Prices Fall Amid Inflation and Fed Rate Hike Expectations
Gold and silver prices have declined sharply in recent sessions, reaching their lowest levels since mid-2025 amid rising crude oil prices, persistent inflation concerns, and expectations of a US Federal Reserve interest rate hike in December. Silver has fallen over 50% from its peak earlier this year, while gold has seen a significant monthly drop. These factors have reduced demand for non-yielding assets, impacting precious metals during the festive and wedding seasons. Experts caution that volatility may continue, advising buyers and investors to consider broader trends before making decisions.
