US Inflation Spurs Rate Hike Concerns Affecting Gold, Silver, and Indian Markets
Recent US inflation data, the highest since COVID, has intensified concerns over Federal Reserve rate hikes, impacting global markets. Spot silver and gold prices declined due to fears of rising rates, with silver down 20% year-to-date and gold trading within a narrow range. Analysts note geopolitical tensions and oil market developments also influence commodity prices. Indian stock experts suggest the US rate hike is largely priced into local indices, expecting moderate growth by year-end despite inflation pressures.
