What Is Impacting Gold Prices?
As per Rahul Kalantri, VP Commodities, Mehta Equities, gold and silver extended their gains as investors sought safe-haven assets amid renewed U.S. trade tariff uncertainty and a decline in equity markets. The U.S. President's renewed warning to India over Russian oil imports added to geopolitical tensions, boosting bullion demand. Mixed U.S. economic data and a retreat in the dollar index further supported gold and silver prices.
