The gold and silver prices in India depend on several factors, including the value of the rupee against the dollar. Global demand also plays a key role in determining the trends observed in the rate of precious metals.
GOLD, SILVER RATES ON INTERNATIONAL MARKET
Gold prices were steady on a weaker dollar on Tuesday, although bullion struggled for momentum as investors were wary of placing big bets ahead of U.S. inflation data that could influence the Federal Reserve’s policy trajectory, news agency Reuters reported.
According to the latest metal report, spot gold held its ground at $1,926.19 per ounce by 0231 GMT. U.S. gold futures were flat at $1,930.20.
A weaker dollar makes gold cheaper for holders of foreign currencies.
In other precious metals, spot silver rose 0.2 per cent to $23.16 per ounce.
