Gold, Silver Rates Today LIVE: Will gold and silver prices remain elevated?

Gold, Silver Rates Today LIVE: Experts at Kotak Securities said that the rally in gold prices was fueled by escalating political uncertainty due to the criminal investigation into US Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell.

“This rally was driven by escalating political uncertainty linked to a criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, which has raised concerns about central bank independence and prompted weakness in U.S. equities and the dollar,” said the experts.

Silver prices also surged due to broader demand for precious metals as risk aversion intensified in the global market.

“Geopolitical tensions, particularly unrest in Iran and warnings against possible U.S. intervention, further reinforced demand for defensive instruments, while softer U.S. economic data has kept expectations of future rate cuts alive,” they said.

The experts also anticipate that the combination of monetary policy uncertainty and global risk pressures suggests that there will be continued support for gold and silver rates, which will keep the prices elevated as long as volatility persists.
