Gold Silver Reports – Gold Prices Plunge by Rs 460 on Weak Global Cues, Fall in Demand — Gold prices tumbled by Rs460 to Rs31,390 per 10 grams at the bullion market on Wednesday, snapping their four-day rising streak due to subdued global cues amid slump in local jewellers’ demand. Silver also fell by Rs250 to Rs39,300 per kg owing to reduced offtake by industrial units and coin makers.
Traders said sentiment was downbeat as the precious metal fell in global markets because the dollar held recent highs after US Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell vowed to prevent the economy from overheating while sticking with gradual rate rises.
Gold rate fell 0.07% to $1,316.80 an ounce, and silver by 0.37% to $16.32 an ounce in Singapore.
