Silver and Gold Prices Decline Amid Rising Oil Prices and Inflation Concerns
Silver and gold prices have declined sharply, with silver falling over 53% from its January peak to an 11-month low below Rs 2 lakh per kg. Rising crude oil prices, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, and expectations of prolonged higher US interest rates have increased inflation concerns, reducing the appeal of non-yielding precious metals. Weaker industrial demand and a stronger US dollar have also pressured silver. India has permitted 6,500 tonnes of silver imports to ease domestic supply ahead of the festive season. Market watchers await the upcoming US Federal Reserve policy meeting for further direction.
