Rising global uncertainty over the effects of the coronavirus and growing friction between the US and China have led to a sharp rise in precious metals, including gold and silver. Both the precious metals have reached close to Rs 50,000 at home. Gold and silver prices also rose on the back of a stronger dollar against the rupee. In addition, crude oil is also seeing a cut in production and prices are on the rise.

In the domestic gold and silver market, gold, excluding GST at Rs 3.50 per 10 grams, which was Rs 200 last weekend, rose to a high of Rs 3 and closed at Rs 4 today.

The effect of production cuts is being seen in crude oil. The New York CAD traded above ૩૨ 6 a barrel and traded at ૫ 2.15, while the Brent stock jumped above ૩૪ 8 to ૩૪ 2.3.
