thebalanced.newsGold and Silver Prices Decline Amid Rising Oil Prices and Geopolitical Tensions
Gold and silver prices in India declined amid rising crude oil prices, a stronger US dollar, and geopolitical tensions related to stalled US-Iran peace talks and Strait of Hormuz uncertainties. Gold fell by up to Rs 900 per 10 grams, trading around Rs 1.51-1.56 lakh, while silver dropped over Rs 2,300 per kilogram to near Rs 2.39-2.60 lakh. Elevated oil prices raised inflation concerns and expectations of sustained higher interest rates, reducing bullion's appeal despite gold's traditional hedge status. Market analysts note ongoing volatility with mixed outlooks for gold and silver investments.
