New Delhi, June 17: Gold and silver prices witnessed a decline as easing geopolitical tensions led to a reduction in safe-haven demand in global markets.
Market observers noted that investor sentiment shifted towards riskier assets as concerns over global instability eased, resulting in lower demand for precious metals traditionally seen as safe-haven investments during periods of uncertainty.
Analysts said the fall in prices reflects improved risk appetite among investors, with equities and other asset classes attracting renewed interest. The softening of geopolitical concerns has reduced immediate demand for gold and silver as protective investment options.
Experts added that movements in precious metal prices remain closely linked to global political developments, inflation trends, and central bank policies, and may continue to fluctuate based on upcoming macroeconomic signals.
The market is expected to remain sensitive to any new geopolitical developments that could once again influence safe-haven buying.
