Gold and Silver Prices Decline Amid Rising Oil Prices and Geopolitical Tensions
Gold and silver prices declined sharply in India and global markets amid rising crude oil prices and escalating Middle East tensions. The rupee's appreciation and expectations of further US Federal Reserve interest rate hikes added pressure on precious metals. Silver hit multi-month lows, with significant drops from record highs earlier this year. Analysts note that inflation concerns driven by higher oil prices and geopolitical risks are dampening investor sentiment, while the upcoming US Fed policy meeting remains a key focus for market participants.
