Gold Prices Decline to Rs 1.48 Lakh Amid Weak Demand and Global Headwinds
Gold prices declined to around Rs 1.48 lakh per 10 grams in Delhi amid subdued local demand and weak global trends, influenced by a stronger US dollar, rising US Treasury yields, and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Silver prices also fell to near three-month lows internationally but remained steady domestically. The Reserve Bank of India raised its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points, adding pressure on precious metals. Investors await US Federal Reserve meeting minutes for cues on future rate policies, which continue to impact gold and silver markets.
