Market experts attribute the decline to a combination of geopolitical developments in the Middle East, expectations of tighter US monetary policy, and profit booking in the bullion market.

Silver Prices Also Edge Lower

Silver prices also witnessed a decline after remaining unchanged for three consecutive days. The price of silver fell by ₹100 per kilogram, bringing the rate in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Chennai to ₹2,34,900 per kg.

Earlier this month, silver had experienced significant volatility, including sharp gains and declines driven by changing industrial demand and global commodity market movements.

According to Jatin Trivedi, Vice President – Commodity and Currency Research at LKP Securities, gold prices have come under pressure after the US Federal Reserve indicated the possibility of another interest rate hike in 2026.

A stronger US dollar and expectations of higher interest rates have reduced investor demand for non-yielding assets such as gold. Additionally, profit booking in the bullion market has further weighed on precious metal prices.
