Gold and Silver Prices Decline Amid Dollar Strength and Global Uncertainties
Gold and silver prices declined in September due to a stronger U.S. dollar, expectations of U.S. interest rate hikes, and rising crude oil prices. Comex gold fell 6.8% to $4,189.1 per ounce, while silver dropped 9.6% to $60.75 per ounce. Domestic prices mirrored this trend, with MCX gold and silver falling 4.1% and 6.8%, respectively. Analysts expect continued volatility and range-bound trading amid global economic data, U.S.-Iran tensions, and upcoming Reserve Bank of India policy decisions.
