New Delhi, May 28: Precious metal prices, including gold and silver, witnessed a decline as markets reacted to ongoing geopolitical tensions alongside persistently elevated crude oil prices, according to market updates.
Analysts said bullion prices came under pressure due to shifting investor sentiment and profit-booking after recent volatility in global commodities. Despite heightened geopolitical risks, strength in crude oil prices and broader market adjustments influenced short-term demand for safe-haven assets.
Market participants noted that fluctuations in the US dollar and changing expectations around interest rates also contributed to price movements in precious metals. Investors appeared to balance risk aversion with broader macroeconomic signals, leading to mixed trading patterns.
Experts added that while gold and silver remain supported by long-term uncertainty and inflation hedging demand, near-term price corrections are common during periods of volatile energy markets and shifting global risk sentiment.
Traders are expected to closely monitor developments in geopolitical hotspots, central bank policy signals, and crude oil trends for further direction in bullion markets.
