Gold and silver prices were under overall pressure in the jewelery market today as the import cost of precious metals fell and the domestic market fell.

The sharp fall in gold prices in June was the biggest sign of a four-year slump in the world market. The sell-off in gold rose as the dollar index rose in global markets today. Meanwhile, in the Ahmedabad jewelery market, gold prices fell by Rs 200 per 10 grams to Rs 200 from Rs 4.50 and Rs 200 from Rs 4.50 today. In Ahmedabad, silver was trading at Rs 200 per kg.

In today's global market, copper prices fell by 0.5 to 0.50 per cent, which also had a negative impact on global silver prices. However, global gold analysts said that global gold prices, which rose again this evening after falling in global crude oil prices, have been supported by lower markets.

Crude oil prices were up half a per cent in world markets this evening. New York's main contract, light sweet crude for delivery in New York, was trading at ૭૩ 4.5 a barrel and Brent crude was trading at 4.05 a barrel.

Meanwhile, Mumbai silver prices closed sharply lower at Rs 705 today, up from Rs 205 excluding GST, while prices with GST were three per cent higher. Market players were keeping an eye on the data of the manufacturing index released in the US and the data of job growth in the world market.

The dollar was closing with a slow recovery at the end of the day amid bilateral fluctuations against the rupee today. After opening at Rs 4.50 this morning, the dollar touched a low of Rs 3.15 and a high of Rs 4.5. The dollar had gained two paise against the rupee today.
