Behind the world market saw two-way big fluctuations in gold and silver at home. Gold does not survive in the world market. The boom is seen as a sell-off. The dollar index, which was lower than expected in the new US jobless claims, strengthened. Crude oil prices have stabilized over the weekend. The dollar also closed modestly higher in the domestic market.
At home, the price of 10 grams of gold in the Mumbai market, excluding GST, which was Rs 50 yesterday, rose to Rs 5 today. At 2.50, gold was trading at Rs 501 and closed at Rs 5. Prices with GST were quoted three per cent higher. Silver. The price of a kilogram rose to Rs. 5 from Rs. 3 and finally closed at Rs. Prices with GST were quoted three per cent higher.

Precious metals do not survive in the world market. The high headline is seen to be selling out.

In the domestic currency market, the dollar rose to 5.7 and finally closed five paise higher at Rs 4.50. The euro was down 3 paise at Rs 2.3 and the pound was at Rs 4.5. The euro is said to be under pressure as Britain tightens quarantine rules.
