In major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Chennai, gold rates dropped due to profit booking, stronger global cues, and expectations of stable interest rates. Silver prices also slipped as traders reduced positions before the year-end.
Why Did Gold and Silver Prices Fall Today?
- Investors are booking profits after recent highs
- Global markets are seeing less safe-haven demand
- Year-end trading usually brings low volumes and volatility
- Strength in the US dollar has put pressure on metal prices
Should You Book Profit or Hold?
Market experts say long-term investors should not panic. Gold is still considered a safe investment in times of inflation and global uncertainty. If you are holding gold or silver for the long term, this dip may not be a big concern.
However, short-term traders may consider partial profit booking, especially if they entered at lower levels.
With the New Year approaching, prices may remain volatile, and fresh global data could decide the next direction for gold and silver.

Big Fall in Gold Price Today in India; Silver Rates Slip on 30 December Ahead of New Year – Should You Book Profit or Hold?
“A correction in precious metals would not necessarily be a bad thing after such a sustained and strong performance. A pullback driven by temporary optimism around growth or rates could make both metals more attractive and create opportunities for investors by resetting valuations. If underlying concerns such as debt sustainability, currency credibility, or geopolitical risk remain then the overall picture does not change and any pullback offers good opportunities for investors to enter,” said Ross Maxwell, Global Strategy Operations Lead, VT Markets.
” I still believe Gold is more appropriate as a core allocation to help provide portfolio stability, while silver remains an option for higher-risk, higher-reward asset, rather than a primary allocation,” added the expert.
