Gold and Silver prove high volatility

ByVictoria

Gold prices have dropped by Rs 3,800 within two days after the US President Donald Trump said he has no plans to fire the US Fed’s chief Jerome Powell and also signalled progress with China on the tariff front.

The June futures contract for gold closed at Rs 94,722 per 10 grams, down by 2.69 per cent, while the May futures contract for silver closed at Rs 97,799 per kilogram, up by 2 per cent.

“Gold prices slipped below USD 3,300 per troy ounce levels but there is no change in the long-term fundamentals,” said Manoj Kumar Jain of Prithvifinmart Commodity Research.

    The unstruck planchets are also sufficient for striking Uncirculated Lincolns cents at the Philadelphia and Denver Mints for inclusion in 2025 Uncirculated Mint sets and for Proof sets executed at the San Francisco Mint.
