Why are prices falling today?:
Several global and domestic factors are driving this two-day downward trend:
Strengthening US Dollar: A stronger dollar makes gold more expensive for international buyers using other currencies, which often leads to a dip in global demand and prices.
Surging Crude Oil Prices: With Brent crude approaching $100 per barrel due to ongoing tensions in the Middle East, there is increased uncertainty about the Federal Reserve’s ability to cut interest rates. Higher interest rate expectations typically keep gold prices in check.
Profit Booking: After a significant rally earlier this month, many investors are choosing to “book profits” (sell their holdings to realize gains), which creates downward pressure on the current market price.
Silver Volatility: Silver has seen a sharper correction than gold today, dropping roughly Rs 1,000 per 100 grams (or Rs 10,000 per kg) since yesterday in most northern cities, though it remains slightly higher in the south.
