Broadly continuing the plunge from the past couple of days, the prices of silver collapsed further to Rs 2.33 lakh per kg in the national capital on Tuesday, while gold plunged to Rs 1.43 lakh per 10 grams, as investors booked profits amid a global selloff triggered by geopolitical events and India and US agreed to a trade deal, according to the India Bullions website
On MCX, March futures for silver have fallen 1.6% to Rs 2.32 lakh per kilogram, whereas April futures for gold have fallen 0.7% to Rs 1.43 lakh per 10 grams.
In early Tuesday trading, spot gold rebounded slightly, recovering part of the sharp losses that followed the sudden reversal of its record-setting rally, which had erased 13% of its value in just two days. Silver also moved higher. Spot gold rose as much as 2.9%, approaching $4,800 an ounce, after dropping nearly 5% in the previous session and deepening Friday’s slide—the largest single day decline in over ten years. Silver gained up to 5.1%, climbing above $83, after falling 7% on Monday and suffering a historic intraday plunge on January 30.
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.
