Continuing the plunge from the past couple of days, the prices of silver collapsed to Rs 2.66 lakh per kg in the national capital on Monday, while gold plunged to Rs 1.48 lakh per 10 grams, as investors booked profits amid a global selloff triggered by geopolitical events, according to the India Bullions website
In early Monday trading, spot gold slid up to 4%, while silver fell by a similar margin, staying above $80 an ounce after briefly tumbling as much as 12%. The metal had already logged its largest intraday fall on record in the previous session, deepesting its steepest fall in 10 yaers.
Over the past year, precious metals have climbed to unprecedented levels, surprising even veteran market participants. The surge gained even more momentum in January, fueled by investors seeking refuge in gold and silver amid renewed worries about global tensions, weakening currencies, and questions surrounding the Federal Reserve’s autonomy.
Friday’s sharp downturn was sparked by news that U.S. President Donald Trump plans to nominate Kevin Warsh as the next Fed Chair. The announcement strengthened the dollar and dampened sentiment among traders who had been counting on Trump to tolerate a softer currency.
The gold rate in India on Monday is Rs 148,240 per 10 gms while the silver rate is Rs 266,500 per 1 kg, according the Bullions website.
