Gold and Silver Prices Rise on US Treasury Buybacks and Weaker Dollar
Gold and silver prices rose sharply amid a decline in US Treasury yields and a weaker US dollar following the US Treasury's announcement to double liquidity support buybacks for longer-dated bonds. This move lowered bond yields and boosted demand for non-yielding assets like gold and silver. Indian markets saw gold futures surpass Rs 1.58 lakh per 10 grams, with silver also gaining significantly. Gold loan and commodity exchange stocks rallied due to higher bullion prices, while analysts noted ongoing geopolitical tensions and crude oil prices as factors keeping market volatility elevated.
