Gold and Silver Prices Decline Amid Rising Oil Prices and US Rate Hike Expectations
Gold and silver prices fell sharply on India's Multi Commodity Exchange amid rising crude oil prices, inflation concerns, and expectations of further US Federal Reserve rate hikes. Gold futures dropped over Rs 3,000 per 10 grams, while silver declined by more than Rs 7,000 per kg. The stronger US dollar, higher bond yields, and geopolitical tensions, including US-Iran developments, contributed to the sell-off. Market experts noted that buyers are hesitant ahead of festivals, awaiting price stability, while international precious metals also declined amid global inflation worries.
