Gold and Silver Prices Fluctuate Amid Rising Oil Prices and US Rate Outlook
Gold and silver prices showed mixed movements amid rising oil prices and evolving US interest rate expectations. While some reports noted gold reaching highs near Rs 1.58 lakh per 10 grams due to increased buying and geopolitical tensions, others highlighted declines linked to higher US Treasury yields and bond market volatility. Investors are closely watching the Federal Reserve's upcoming meeting minutes for guidance. Rising crude oil prices, influenced by stalled US-Iran talks and regional tensions, also impacted precious metal trends globally and on India's MCX.
