Silver, Gold, and Copper Futures Prices Decline Amid Weak Domestic Demand
Silver, gold, and copper futures prices declined on August 18 and 19 amid reduced spot demand and subdued domestic consumption. Silver futures fell by up to Rs 4,023 per kilogram, while gold futures dropped by up to Rs 636 per 10 grams. Copper prices also decreased by up to Rs 10.90 per kilogram. Analysts attributed the declines mainly to sell-offs and muted demand in domestic markets, despite mixed global trends where silver and gold futures showed slight gains or losses in New York trading.
