Silver hits Rs 1,000: Bond yields rise, gold retreats


(Gujarat News Office) MUMBAI: Gold and silver prices retreated in the Mumbai jewelery market today. World market news was showing a decline in precious metals. With the world market collapsing and the import cost coming down, there were more sellers and less buyers in the jewelery market today due to falling prices. In the global market, the dollar index rose and bond and treasury yields rose.

The fall in crude oil prices by more than one and a half per cent in the global market today also had a negative impact on gold prices. Gold prices in the world market today fell from ૮૨૨ 15 to ૮૨૩ 15 an ounce to ૯ 1,305 to ૮ 1,210 an ounce. Behind gold, global silver prices also fell by ૨૪ 4.5 to ૬૬ 7.5 to ૩૮ 4.5 to ૩૯ 7.5.

Saudi Arabia's decision to cut crude oil prices for Asia was also having an impact on market prices, market sources said.

China's trade data was good today, however, as global copper prices fell to minus 1.15 per cent to 1.50 per cent this evening, it had an impact on global silver prices.
